Would you guys be interested in hosting a group buy? I'm sure there's lots of people here that would be interested.

I'd be interested in a group buy. I'd be in the market for the swan neck version.

Great to hear you guys are interested. We will have product shots up of the swan neck shortly. lets see if we can get enough people together make a group by happen.

What is the general consensus on additional finish powdercoat options? Opinions on possible colors? We aren't sure on how much extra the powder coat would be.

Just black for color. Anodizing might be a better way to go.

Locally, Type III anodizing was ridiculously expensive on the order of $350-500 for the size. It might still fade in prolonged sunlight.

It cost about $270 to blast and powdercoat the 64" airfoil a generic satin black along with a sadfab coil bracket and fuse box bracket.

I'm sure if you bulk coat, it will be cheaper and easier to hit the minimums some shops charge.

OK. We might skip it then. We want to keep the wings at a low price point. So it might be a turn off for most people.
