    Any local recommendations?

    I recently purchased a set of JDM 4/2 pots. They have previously been painted and are pretty dirty.

    Want to get them sandblasted and powder coated.

    I'm in Cottage Grove, so the closer the better.

    Are the calipers disassembled?

    So you just need them blasted and coated. You are doing the disassembly and reassembly?

    I've never done it, are special tools needed to disassemble and reassemble? I assumed I would do it but not sure of level of effort.

    I have never done them myself either. I do not think there are any special tools needed no.

    Nice. So I got the JDM calipers with the raised letters. Are you able to make the raised letters/lines a different color? I'm gonna go typical red caliper/white letters.

    PM me what you'd charge for 4 calipers if you disassemble/reassemble, and then the price for 4 calipers if I disassemble/reassemble.

    Thank you!

    Honestly I am not interested in doing it If I have to disassemble/assemble them. I can do different color on the tops of the raised letters. Let me check with a friend and see what kind of price he thinks would be good.

    I know the guy who runs Jacobson power coating in Burnsville (out of his garage). He's done some really good work but I'm sure there's a price that comes with it. If you don't have any other leads, you could check in with him.

    See Mark, great guy and awesome business man. He had one wheel of mine not come out perfect and he had it media blasted again and powder coated it from scratch to get it right. They turned out fantastic! When i need to powder coat something, i take it to Mark!
