Hi, I'm done with coatings for a while but i'll try to answer as good as I can anyway.
I guess there are companies doing that but I dont know of any. One must also consider that everything here in europe is expensive and that reflects into pricing of all products even if they are produced right around the corner, if I were to buy eg Koni shocks they would be cheaper to buy in usa even if they are produced in holland. And then there are problems to find a place willing to do only one set. Many companies here in europe are still working with middlemen and agents all willing to earn their part. then if I found a company in another country, there might be language problems, high shipping and from some countries even taxes. It sounds like I want to make this more difficult than it is, but my friends who wants coated headers send them to jet hot or any other company in america. ciao André > Andre,is there no place in Europe that can do exhaust coatings?
