Found a great source for powdercoating air cleaners!
« on: May 20, 2010 - 12:38:07 PM »
I wanted to have my air cleaner powdercoated but I didn't want wrinkle finish inside and out. Central Connecticut Coatings agreed to do mine as satin black on the inside and wrinkle finish on the outside. It took him a week to figure it out but he says now he can do it pretty easily. I wanted to spread the word (and some pics) because I am so happy with the job.

That's pretty cool looking.  Do you know if other colors are available in the wrinkle finish?
If I cant fix it, it's broke

I'm sure there are other colors, I'll call CCC and report back to this post.

cheaper to do it at home, I have a HF Powder coater, and an old oven in my shop. all the stuff i have done look as good or better than a shop for a fraction of the price
