williaty Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I'm restoring two 1940s Atlas drill presses and will shortly need to paint them. It will be too late in the year (read: cold and wet) for me to shoot them myself by the time I have them fully torn down and sandblasted. I don't really want to wait for late spring to get them back together again. So I'm looking for a shop that will shoot the pieces a single, solid color with a 2-part clear on top (for solvent and oil resistance) without charging a fortune (and without screwing it up). I don't need Pebble Beach level of paint perfection and I don't need any custom hand painting done. Just good, solid workmanship for a reasonable price. I live out near Etna, so something on the east half of Columbus or even as far east as Newark or south as Lancaster would be fine. Something in the Pataskala-Reynoldsburg-Pickerington axis would be ideal. Any good experiences with a shop that could do this for me? Thanks.

Richard Cranium Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Have you checked Performance Powdercoating? They are on the far east side and do good work. The powder coat would most likely hold up better than traditional paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34bboley Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 What are the dimensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williaty Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 The largest piece would be the foot casting which is about 18"x28"x4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
