about £100

Compared to the cost of chroming, it’s peanuts.

But yeah I’d also say in the £100 region. I use a place in Aldershot called Aurora Powder Coating. They do a lot of Pin parts and have a quick turnaround.

Great quality as well

Depends entirely on the powder coat.

Basic Powdercoats with no sparkles will be a lot cheaper.
Agree with Ant and Neil somewhere in the region of £100 or less.

A bit of advice on the coin door, use new if you can even good condition old doors can be a pain in the ass and due to the increased thickness may no longer have a smooth lock and release.

Custom powders will set you back a lot more.

Just dont boast to the powder coater how expensive pinball is as a hobby and how much you spend on them. A lot of small companies (most powder coaters locally to me are 5 employees or less) quote on what they can get out of you!
I just tell them they are for trims for football tables. Get hinges, siderails, lockdown bars and legs done for £80. Fancy finishes 10-30% more.

Doesn’t it depend on what colour you want?
General RAW is cheaper…If they don’t stock the candy colour you’re after , they have to buy it in.
I’d feel embarrassed giving a local company 100 quid in such a case.
I was quoted 120 but they do such a great job I pay a bit extra on top for their efforts.
They give me quick turnaround and take extra care not to warp anything.
A fair bit of labour involved too chemically striping old powder off etc….
