Powder Coating (and sandblasting)

Over the years at car shows & cruise-ins in Maine, I was often asked if I knew of a good place to get powder coating done. Recently I restored an '85 GMC and decided to get the old wheel rims blasted and powder coated. The guy who finished my truck (David Wildes, Limington) mentioned someone he knew. Upon further investigation I discovered the guy was Todd Chartier and he has a facility in the old Sylvania building in Standish. The name of the company is GDL PAINT, INC. 

Contact number is (207)642-1055.

I can attest to extremely good results, and Todd and his staff are super friendly. They take "walk-ins", too - I dropped off my wheels on Wednesday and had them back on Monday. It helps that there is another company in the same building that does the blasting - since my wheels were steel, they used the "pellet" method that produced a super smooth finish.

If interested, give Todd a call, or drop by at 234 Northeast Rd, Suite 8, Standish. You gotta go all the way around the building to get to them, but it's sure wworth it.

Oh, by the way - they did all (5) wheels for $90 each.

And if you don't need powder coating, please pass this on to others who may.
