It depends on where you get it, the size of the tubing, wall thickness, and quantity. They come in 20 foot lengths so if you get anything less than that they will charge you per cut. It can be anywhere between 1 dollar a foot to 3 dollars a foot.
Iv'e been using yelp to find shops near me. Call all the shops and see what prices they have in order to get an accurate estimate.

Finally got my stand back. I took it to a company before I left to Oregon and when I got back it still wasn't ready. After a month, I went and it still wasn't ready so I took it somewhere else. This other guy did a great job and he got it done when he said he would.
Next step is to get under the house and place some foundation jacks so that there is no movement.... Hmmm or I'll order a new sump. We'll see.
I called Crystal Dynamics and they said that the tank is assembled but the silicone is still currying and it will be another week and a half before they ship it

Are you planning on wrapping it?

Yes. That will be the last thing I do because I'm going to learn woodworking. I'm looking at a couple places that offer classes but i won't be able to take them until January.

there's a class at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut. That's where I learned how to build furniture. It's held on the weekends. Here's a cheesy video with more info. The number at the end of the video is for the instructor however if you call it let it ring 12+ times so he'll answer. I'm not joking.

...shouldv'e hit me up. I would have welded it up for you in a jiffy.

The welding wasn't the issue because I did it. The first powder coating company does huge production jobs so they could only get to mine when ever they ran the color I wanted but they kept on forgetting. After a month I picked it up and took it to a small business and he got it done in a few days

yeah, that's been my experience with them as well. they kind of work on the "squeaky wheel gets the oil" business model, unfortunately.

Where do you take yours? I first took mine to ASR, they didn't even give me a quote. After a month I took it to LK Fabrication and powder coating.

H&M powder coating in Ontario. A couple of paisas own it (Heriberto and Miguel). They also do bigger stuff on the regular but normally get my small projects done within a week. For a stand your size I'd expect to pay $50-$70.
They're off of Mountain, south of the 10 fwy, and just a few blocks south of King Taco. =)

I'm thinking of powder coating my steel stand, but I heard about Line X. They use that stuff to coat jeeps and truck beds. I saw a guy do that to his stand and he mentioned it's better than powder coating. Not sure which way to go at this point hahah.

This is the first one i get powder coated. I usually use Herculiner. You can get a kit for about 80.00 when its on sale.
