I’m trying to get into powder coating. Building an oven. 15 months in. Not much help from other people. Started 15 months ago was tired of powder coating coming up on my phone. Decided to watch. Got hooked right then. How simple it could be. With a regular oven. But I wanted something that would hold a differential at least. 2 am. By 9: am I was going at it. Small town not many options for materials. No plan,no knowledge no idea what i was really doing. I am making it with electricity and propane. Because electricity costs are crazy expensive. In a town that gets 115~122 degrees in the summer.May never even use electricity. Think it was a waste $ but couldn’t get any advice from many people. 200 videos like yours. Helped me design what I thought that I wanted.thanks for your time. I want to be fair to people also. 8x7x6 ft.

@panamafred1 Год назад

Shop your competition then base your price accordingly. Or, estimate your time and expenses then add a healthy percentage extra for hidden costs such as delays, shop electricity, water, property taxes/rent, gasoline, heat, etc. These shouldn't come out of your personal take home. Don't short change yourself. But most of all, under promise and over perform your turnaround time and quality. I was a carpenter for a bazillion years. On the back of my business card I printed 1: I return phone calls. 2: I stick to my price unless the customer changes the job. 3: I clean up my mess. I always threw in something extra. If I was painting windows in a house, I would wash the windows inside and out when I was done. Didn't take long to do, and word of mouth spread. Value yourself highly, do good work. Happy customers will pay for hassle free work.

Great job man! Thanks for not being greedy, you still made great money for the you put into it.✌🏽😃

@adrianmaree8352 2 года назад

Thanks for this. Nice to see how other coaters charge. What I like about this video is that you don't time lapse the actual shooting. I watch videos to learn mostly how to spray and time lapsing when spraying doesn't help at all. Great video, thank you

Glad I could help 👍🏼

@Drakii0069 Год назад

i know this may be a year old but very well laid out bud. ive been coating industrially close to 20 years now and honestly your rate per wheel is pretty much spot on for small scale, personally i usually charge $50 for steels $75 aluminiums a wheel depending on paint choice(a lot of my costs get eaten up by other products) special colours/finishes of course incur extra cost. chromed wheels i wont touch as a personal preference due to the time it takes per piece to prep them.

@elosp70 Месяц назад

Bro, you are awesome. I am planning to Powder coat my motorcycle rims but I am here in California, by you just making this video I would take my rims to you if you were in California.

@bradeyfehr1097 2 года назад

First and for most those rims look great! And second, great video and great cost break down, as its similar to how we do pricing where I work. I would have loved to have seen you use the RC-1 System you offer on those rims. As I am considering purchasing one of those units for home use. PS. you've certainly got a new sub.

@royalcoatspowdercoating 2 года назад

Thanks for the sub! That would’ve been a good idea. Remember the presale ends on the 25th of this month.

@innovativethoughts Год назад

I like your concept. Many places are way to expensive. And if you can make you a profit and stay at a reasonable price this will help other people get done what they need to have done as well as put money to take care of yourself and your pocket and your business. It gets busy you'll be making enough profit to hire people as well. It's the greed that makes business bad.

@mikeraines6343 Год назад

Solid work! Thanks for the video. You mentioned that your equipment is paid for. Would be wise to budget replacement cost in, you never know when something is going to break down or need to be replaced. Another piece of advice given to me, don't leave money on the table, if guy was willing to spend $110 do it for $105 if you feel like cutting a break. Just my 2 pennies. Keep up the great work!

@royalcoatspowdercoating Год назад

For sure, you should definitely have some sort of funds set aside for equipment failure. And if and when they do fail, you’ll need to decide to repair, replace, or upgrade. I was comfortable doing them for the price quoted since that’s my normal price. Gotta be careful too when offering this service when there are so many hacks out there. Someone probably isn’t going to leave their favorite coater or the big guy that’s well known to save $10.

@swc-diygarage 2 года назад

Really enjoyed this video. Well explained. A lot of people won't goto the trouble of doing cost and profit because it's like some kind of secret. But would like to know how many KV you sprayed at?

@royalcoatspowdercoating 2 года назад

Yeah not sure why it’s top secret. All it takes is a phone call to see what someone charges. I spray most of my pieces at 100kv on my Gema and usually just change the micro amps.

@stevenmitchell6347 Год назад

I was considering a mobile powder coating business with all the equipment in a trailer. It would be limited as to the size of product coated but should be able to do differential housings, quad frames, wheels, etc. It would necessarily mean I charge a bit more but it would be same day service at the customer location. A few design issues to work out but it's easily packaged in an 8'x24' trailer.

@royalcoatspowdercoating Год назад

You’d be better off offering pickup and delivery in my opinion. You’d need water storage for rinsing, generator for running all electrical, tanks for stripping and neutralizing, and all the other big equipment that comes with powder coating. You’re going to be hauling around a lot of weight and eat up your profit in fuel. And you’ll be spending a good part of your day parked in front of someone’s house/shop prepping and outgassing to coat properly. Offering free pick up and delivery within a radius of your shop or a small fee would be a lot easier. Just some things to think of.

@stevenmitchell6347 Год назад

@@royalcoatspowdercoating I was considering that it would eliminate the utilities and shop rent thus offsetting the additional fuel costs for the generator, compressor, etc. As for the water, I was looking into a recovery and recycle system similar to the ones at my local car wash only smaller. The tanks for water and waste would be under the floor like a camping trailer. It's all part of the packaging and design challenges. The initial build cost should be reasonable since the equipment will be fabricated as part of the structure. I can fabricate most of the equipment, oven, coating booth, cleaning chamber, sand and hydroblasting chambers, etc., cheaper than buying it anyway. I'm a retired Industrial Design Engineer and fabricator/welder so I can do most, if not all, of it. I already have a trailer frame to build on. It's the chemical stripping tank that is the greatest design challenge unless I do a drain and refill system to eliminate "slosh" when moving.

@royalcoatspowdercoating Год назад

@@stevenmitchell6347 another thing to keep in mind is that you’ll only be able to work on one project at a time which will really hurt profits. While a set of wheels outgas and cool for over two hours you’re just going to be hanging out I assume since being mobile and one location at a time? Instead of being able to prep other jobs. Are you coating already or just brainstorming future ideas?

@stevenmitchell6347 Год назад

@@royalcoatspowdercoating I'm only coating my own projects but I'm in an extremely rural area with a lot of welder fabricators and small shops. Don't have the shop space for a business. I was considering the mobile idea in conjunction with pick-up and delivery. I could use the equipment here when not doing a mobile job. I agree that mobile jobs would necessarily need to be substantial to allow for continuous processing and best ROI. The closest powder coating businesses are at least an hour away and have 3-10 day waiting time.

If your customer needs .5lbs of powder, and you can only buy powder by the pound(+shipping) do you only charge them the .5lb of powder, and eat the other .5lb(+shipping)? BTW Thanks for taking the time to make these kinds of vids!

@royalcoatspowdercoating 2 года назад

I do, unless it’s a color that cost significantly more than other colors then I will add a powder charge. But you have to be able to compete with the businesses that stock a 100+ colors in the big boxes ready to spray. Once you get to that point you can up charge for customers wanting specific powders that you don’t have on hand.
