Ceramic coated my stock manifolds and heat shields for a great price. Phenomenal service and quality. I was incredibly impressed and I highly recommend him. Thanks again, man!

looks awesome

[sstony]

Looks good. I don't think anyone has ever complained about his work.

[Benjamin]

I will be the first to admit that I'm not perfect. There have been a couple of jobs I have done that the color wasn't exactly right or the finish wasn't as good as I would have liked it to be. I strive to provide the best service and product you can get for your money.

Then there is the jobs that you wish you didn't take, like mine. LOL

Actually once the rims got on the car they look awesome.
If i ever get it cleaned up and the suns out i will get some pictures.

[Benjamin]

yes there are times i bite off more than I can chew and i have to choke on it for a bit but I haven't had a job kill me yet.....

[sstony]

You can do wheels now??

[Benjamin]

NO!!!!! maybe if they are small and you don't want a cool color. I can only do them in solid colors like white, black, red, yellow etc. no more "chrome" or candy or metallic colors at the moment.

[ptim]

Ben does great work, I was always 110% satisfied with his work.

[MC87SS]

I tried to get a few pictures but these are almost impossible to get a picture that make them look like they do in person.
I really like how they came out and i get a lot of compliments.
Here are a few pictures.

i saw Ken's wheels the night that ole guy brought them to Ken they were NICE..

[Benjamin]

thanks, guys!

Ben does do great work indeed. It's been almost two years since he helped me out with a botched PC job from ETC Powder Coating in town. I would never hesitate to bring him something to coat if need be. Is 16" or 17" the largest you can do for rims Ben? And can you do dark gray/gunmetal?

[Benjamin]

i might can fit a 16" wheel in the oven but I tend to do 15's or smaller. I can do just about any color, i would have to order it though.

[Hank3]

Just got a set of 17s and they need a PC job. Get a bigger oven already!!! :)

Are the guys at Boston still PC'ing?

[Benjamin]

Ya Rob is still doing it, just not as busy as he was a year or so ago as his biggest contract either went out of business of moved the business out of the area. he has been doing a lot of trailers, mainly boat trailers and iron railings and such lately.

still no bigger oven, once i get my shop wired and i can fool around with it i will have a bigger oven, it will be ghetto but will get the job done none the less.....

[Benjamin]

here is a power steering reservoir and coolant overflow i did for BTR-75

[Benjamin]

the white you see on it was the fuzz from a paper towel i used to wipe off my fingerprints.

[spadoc79]

how much "bigger" of an oven are you gonna have? what will be the max wheel size you'll beable to PC?

[BTR-75]

They came out great too, can't wait to get them installed.

Benjamin has all my future powdercoating business, just need to find more things to pc now.

[Hank3]

Nice job, Ben. Thanks for the info. It's gonna be a while until I need the rims PC, so hopefully you'll get a bigger oven by then :)

[Benjamin]

me and my ultimate brokeness will be building my own, i *might* be able to do a 20" but will for sure be able to do 17's as they are the most common size I am asked to do. IF i can get through this peanut and pecan harvest season and we get some good rains when needed and the quality of the product is better than this last year then I should FINALLY have me some spare time to wire the shop and get the stove moved in and built but that could be late into the year and past the apocalypse.....

my next big hurdle is the tax assessors office, they left me a thing on my door the other day, I guess they want to charge me more money since i put up some privacy fence and a metal building.....

[Hank3]

How much to sandblast four 17 x7 rims by you Ben? That way I can bring to Boston PC. Wish you could do it though...

[Benjamin]

what coating is on the rim to begin with? paint, PC or clear coated polished aluminum? send me a PM with some pics if you can

[Hank3]

Sent you a PM, Ben.

[MC87SS]

Ben just did some more stuff for me also.
Although he hates doing this special 2 stage chrome powder for me i loved the way they turned out.
This is what the stuff lookedlike before i sent them:

[madderhatter]

Very nice !!!

[Benjamin]

on the P/S tank was redone after those pictures due to the chemical i was using to clean the inside leaked through the holes and messed the finish up, unfortunately when I re-did it i got a hair in it, fortunately when it is on the vehicle it shouldn't be able to be seen.

[Benjamin]

BTW, Ryan, your manifolds are finished, I will get pictures of them on later on tonight....

[MC87SS]

They look great Ben, as you can see it pic #6 you will never see the hair once bolted into the brackets.

[Benjamin]

BUT if the car ever gets stolen I will submit my DNA so if they find that it will match....lol
