Powder Coating in the Valley

Now that I got my 964 fan all cleaned up I want to powder coat it. Does anyone have a recomendation for a powder coating shop in the San Fernando Valley? West Valley maybe? Thanks all!

Don't forget to mask the edges.

You might search on the main tech board, more folks have done the fan powdercoating there.

Soooo, I got the fan back from Pyramid powder coating and I figured I was a pretty smart guy so I decided to change the fan myself. Boy when am I going to learn. So I didn't have the right 12 point hex to help loosen the belts, so I used a star shaped hex. Now I got the belts off, but I couldn't pull off the fan (like on my 88). So I called my friends over at Asse Motors and come to find out that the fan has to be pulled off with a press. Dooooh! So I put all the belts back on and take my car over to Asse Motors. When they try to remove the belts, I find out because I didn't use a 12 point hex that I stripped the inner threads that you need to hold the fan in place to loosen the fan belts. Soo now I have to not only have to pay for the labor to remove the fan and put on the new powder coated great looking fan, but I got to pay for a new Alternator/ generator. Dooh, Doooh.... But what did I learn, before I ever attempt anything I'm not sure about I'm coming on this chat board to ask. Also I need to buy a 12 point hex, because if my fan belts ever break, ( the tool kit has a new belt, but no 12 point hex) I would be stuck because I couldn't get the belts off. So does anyone know where I can get a 12 point hex?
