Maybe they both have new crews now. None the less, I still will take everything I can to Carl at Midwest then to Neils. Powdercoat Pros cost me money and time. I wont do business with them again.

I worked for neils about a month ago. They might of got a new crew now, because if they kept to their word about firing people everyone that worked there should be fired by now! I dont know how many times a week someone called in sick because they were hungover! They lost their John Deere powder coat job because they sucked so much!

Midwest has always done a lot of John Deere. Neils must have had the overflow. It was 2 years ago that Pros screwed my chassis up.

Neils had John Deere coming through until they kept fucking things up and couldnt get it out on time or right!

glass beads FTW!!!! I have blasted tons of valve covers over the years. Never had any problems with damage.

I had midwest powder coat my intake this summer. It cost less then the spray paint would have cost me.

I can vouch for Midwest as well, and I'm pretty sure I've done business with Neils as well. Never any issues, I was just more impressed with Midwest overall. And yeah, they do it stupid dirty cheap IMO. It was a quick turn around as well.

Dan Thomas @ Elite Powdercoating if you want nothing but the best work done. He has done everything for me from wheels to intake manifoldss to valve covers.

If u wanna do your own powder coating you can get a small setup fairly cheap... I think our gun and stuff was like $150, free old oven, and powder doesn't cost much, only thing is the oven kinda takes up a little space... It's not that hard to use either, I did a fairly good job on some wheels the first time i used it.

I talked to Dan a while ago. He does great work but was only able to do smaller parts.
