Andrew, Did you have to take it off and then reinstall it or was that included in the price? Thanks.

take off anything you dont want to be powdercoated, including screws hinges and attachments. Word to the wise any rubber gaskets or anything will be melted at that temperature (400+degrees) I had my tower powder coated blue to match my boat and paid 100 bucks even, which im told was just the minimum charge at the shop. www.wakecoupons.com

The dealer sent it to Pro-Coat before they put the tower on the boat.

Thanks. Unfortunately mine is already on the boat and I want to get it powdercoated. I'm kinda afraid to try and take the tower off so.... Thanks for all your help.

towers are easy to take off and put back on, especially when mounted.

Not for a girl. I guess the dealer will have to do it and I'm sure they will charge a grip!

you will have to take the tower off due to the fact that they have to bake the powder. That is how it works, they spray the powder and then bake it on. Otherwise you might want to look at a wet paint.

You guys have any idea what a dealer would charge for taking the tower off, send out, and then reinstall it? Thanks again for all your help.

This was done locally in CT. Not sure on the price, but powdercoated in '04 to also match the Vapor Blue. Came out much better than expected and would do it again over paint. Just wanted to add that we decided to leave the pylon part bare silver. It adds a nice touch and looks great. It picks up the silver on the lights, speakers, and winsdshield. Fully colored looks great, but you may wanna keep the pylon part bare, looks great either way. (Message edited by abundiga909 on September 27, 2005)

Richard, The San Fernado Valley. I wouldn't mind driving a few hours to have it done. Do you know anyone who does this? Thanks.

Just make sure you protect the powdercoating from the sun with Wax, Formula 303 or be in a covered parking spot. My powdercoated tower is fading badly after only 3 years because it sat out in the sun all the time.

I paid $100 in Sacramento for my powder coat job. Make sure if you have any threads for bolts/heim joints that go into your tower, you put a scrap bolt in there or you will need to retap the holes. Even still you might need to retap.

I was going to post this as a new thread but it seems to fit here. The chrome on my speakers has always been a bitch to clean so I had them powder coated and the bezels re-chromed.

Hey Brett: What kind of Speaker can's are thoes. My first guess is 13th floor because of the large light but the mounts looks custom, So I give up wha are they. They look cool

Grant, That is the stock setup that came with the boat. 2003 X-30. I don't know who made them but I need to get covers for them or a tower sock. The lights do look cool but I never use them and they let air pass through the can and blow the speaker in the rear.

Brett, What did it cost you to have those cans powder coated? They look great.
