How long do these take to do? For instance, how long does it take to make a glossy white one? How long did it take to do the transparent colored ones? And how much does it cost you in materials to do them? Do you do this as a service? ---

Hey man! So it really depends on whether the yoyo needs to be stripped of anodizing or not. If the yoyo needs to be stripped, then it usually takes a couple hours to chemically strip the anodize and then prep the surface. Powder coating itself is fairly quick, just spray it and bake it for 10mins then letting it cool. If the yoyo is raw and the response pads are already out, then it’s very quick. I just have to wipe it down with some acetone then get it rigged up for powder coating. The translucent coats take a bit longer as the yoyo needs to be polished to a mirror finish prior for the best results. Materials wise, it’s pretty cheap. The tools needed are expensive. A lb of powder costs $15 to $20 average, and will do many yoyos. Yes I do do this as a service! Feel free to shoot me a message if you’re interested! ---
