Anyone have any sources for powder coating service they'd recommend? Was surprised when I contacted PPP recently that they don't do BYOC enclosures any longer. They had done a couple dozen for me (all for personal use) over the years and I was very happy with their large color selection, job quality, turn-around time, and price. I have enclosures from a handful of different kits that I'd like to get done. Thanks.

So PPP won't powder coat an enclosure sent to them? or won't drill one of their enclosures to BYOC specs? I used PPP in the past to powdercoat some different enclosures for me. It would be a shame if they don't do that anymore, they had a lot of nice color options.

Spin, The reply I got when I called PPP was in reference to painting pre-drilled BYOC enclosures of mine that I would ship to them. I can't speak about them drilling their own enclosures to BYOC specs and then painting, but I can't imagine them not doing that.

Man, that sucks. I guess they ran into quality control issues when they were coating other peoples boxes. I guess you have the option of buying painted enclosures and drilling them yourself. You can try selling your BYOC boxes, people around here can always use them.

we've had parts for many years. They offer kits now, so that might be it.
