SAMBUSA Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 How much would something like that run?Not sure yet. And it would depend on the parts being done. OR and DTC members would definately get a deal on pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 So I'll answer the question directly and then provide some business advice.... Yes I'd be interested. And if the price is right, I would look at powder coating when it hadn't even come to mind before (like a new part I just got, or something I made)In terms of starting it up, here's my unsolicited advice that you as a business owner may have already thought of... I'm curious if you're banking your cost benefit analysis off more than just interest on this site, I'm imagining you are.Considering the cost part of the CBA is only startup costs... since you already have a shop I'm assuming you just have to buy some materials... so to that extent, enough interest here and you can break even in Y1 and then anything after that is gravy.so on that token, if you can post your startup cost we could probably help you in finding out when your break-even point is. If you're talking $1,000 I'm pretty sure we can get you pretty damn close... if you're talking $100,000 than interest here likely doesn't mean a whole lot lolSorry if I've just pissed you off by offering advice when you may not have wanted it, I just figure since you're posting here you want some advice.

warpspeed Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 It's not cheap to get into if you get the right setup. Your talking $10k for a professional setup. AND the way the economy is, I'm not sure if the demand would be huge. Just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exSRAaron Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'd possibly get some stuff done, if the price was right of course. NSR frame maybe? I'm had great luck with the PC'ing vendor on here too tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
