Re: Powdercoated parts
I really like the upper intake, did you do it or have somebody do it?

Re: Powdercoated parts
Thanks. It's the single stage chrome...I wish I'd got it on a little thicker (can still see the cast bumps) but my good gun quit on me and I had to go to my cheaper backup gun, it doesn't have near the voltage. But it turned out pretty good considering.

Re: Powdercoated parts
How soon you wanting this done? The trucks got me a little busy right now, but I might be interested and could cut you a good deal if you are willing to get them prepped for coating before getting them to me. You would need to strip off any clearcoat and have them glass-bead blasted ( not sandblasted! ). And I also need to get my good gun fixed first

Re: Powdercoated parts
I already have the clear coat and machine marks removed on all four rims as well as the centercaps. Did that about a year ago. We have a huge blast cabinet at work that is loaded with glass beads for finishing some of our molds so I got that all covered.
I did meet a gentleman at a car show recently that does PC but the pieces that he had on display weren't going to win any beauty contests. I figured that it was because all the parts that he had on display had a pretty rough surface to begin with. He didn't attempt to smooth any of them before he shot them and it showed in the finish.
As far as time frame goes, I'm in no hurry. I would like to have them done sometime within the next year. I just bought a set of vette sawblades that I will use for cruising. The PC black ones will be for when I go to the track. I guess that my polished stockers that I have on now, will decorate the basement in the future... I have WAY to much time in them to ever consider selling them at this point.
According to mapquest, you are approximately 270 miles to the southwest. My older brother lives in Dayton. If we wheel-n-deal, I would prolly deliver and pick them up myself. Always up for meeting a new owner
. You can PM me price if you wish. Thanks!
