Allied Powder Coating

Honestly, I was hesitant to take my 40 year old motorcycle project to the folks over at Allied since I didn’t see many positive reviews on Unilocal or on their website, but everything came out better than expected. I came across recommendations to go with Allied on some online forums (Ducati and Harley guys), so I took their word for it! My 1978 Honda CB550 project is very detail-​oriented (and I’m anal) so I made sure to set up a hold-​point with Allied after part blasting, so I could inspect the masking work prior to coating. They were very receptive to this idea, were easy to work with, and very communicative throughout. I would definitely use them again since they are quick and very price competitive, and plan on referring my friends to them in the future. If you need to get motorcycle parts powder-​coated in the Houston area, don’t hesitate to give them a call (and ask for Mia)! Making sure they properly mask the surfaces that are important to you isn’t a bad idea either, but that goes for any powder coater!

Well they picked up my patio Table and 6 chairs. They said approximate quote was 1000.00 when they received at their factory they called and started nickel and dimeing me to the tune of 1400.00, due to all the welds they had to repair and so on. Well they already had my furniture so I said go ahead. I am aware I could purchase a really nice outdoor set for the 1400.00. This was done in March of 2013.
It is August 2013 and the arms are falling off the chairs, and there are already rust spots. I called they said bring them in 125.00 for a weld. Well 4 arms have fallen off so far.
I am back to where I started, I’m trashing this table and the poorly coated table and chairs and going to buy all new furniture.
Be forewarned the powder coating and their no guarantee has cured me.
Never again.
