A Finish Worth the Build… Inside @whoisthor’s Go-To Powder Coater: @blakelypowdercoating:
The great thing about the motorcycle community is the unspoken bond between us. You can meet a fellow rider anywhere on the planet and instantly find something in common. I’ve found that this same bond reaches into all aspects of life.
Recently, I’ve been building a new custom motorcycle for @gates.powersports . While I handle the fabrication, there are some specialized services I leave to the experts—specifically, the coating of parts. I’m good enough to weld them together and make them look okay, but for a professional finish, you have to find a professional.
I’ve built over 25 custom bikes, and in the process, I’ve worked with many powder coating suppliers. Most do a fine job, but then there are shops like Blakely Powder Coating. Because they ride and love motorcycles themselves, they understand how the parts fit together and the vital importance of a pro finish.
I met Blakely and his son racing dirtbikes, and he told me to hit him up if I ever needed anything. He and his son approach every job with the consistency of a perfectionist; they understand deadlines and are always willing to help out. Honestly, I was almost scared to share their info because I know how hard it can be to squeeze in time-consuming custom projects when a shop gets busy—but for over 10 years, they’ve always come through.
With the upcoming show just over the horizon, I wanted to share a trusted supplier of professional coatings with a bond only another motorcyclist will understand. They are a hardworking family operation that delivers. Whether you’re building a bike for the show or just customizing something for yourself, give Blakely Powder Coating a shot.
