Maybe I can look into this kit, my brother in-law (well soon to be) has this massive powder coating oven sitting in the back of his trailer covered up and Id love to give it some good use lol, to give you an idea of its size, I could stand inside of this thing and probably extends my arms out to the left and right almost completly, id take a pic but its so covered up it wouldnt show much lol

Did a bunch more brackets in satin black today, this thing will pay for itself in no time.

Well, I'm at it again. I spent today cleaning , prepping and powdercoating a Z6 intake manifold I picked up on ebay for $8.00. I did it to match my Valve cover. What a long day, but it came out good. Now I just need to clear coat it.

Before


After

Yup blasted and pre baked as well. I don't plan on having fuel leaks so I hope that's a non issue, but stuff happens. I am not a huge fan of polished stuff.

Powder coating looks good. That's something I'm going to look into. It would pay for itself witin a week the way my friend are about having shit coated. Does it come with the colors?
