Default how does this look?

im thinking of powdercoating all the engine trim this color (oil pan, valve covers, intake crossover, alternator, etc...). how do you like it?

This is pre-cooking...

I can get just about any color. Right now I have Mirror Red, Blue, and Yellow, Black Chrome and Gloss Black. I also have a high-gloss clear for topcoating or for covering polished aluminum/chrome so you never have to polish them again

Looks good, might be enlisting your services soon.
Scott, just have your car shipped up here and I will be glad to take care of it for you.


Just let me know what you want done and the approximate size (LxWxH). I should be able to get it back to you within a few days of receiving it, depending on how much prep work it needs (things have to be spotless, oilless, greaseless) but i have a blast cabinet and a sandblaster if needed.

Looks sharp,if I could offer some advice try to avoid applying the coating anywhere a fastener will touch.It has a tendancy to chip when the force of a bolt is exerted.Even possibly installing bolts and nuts preimptively to coating.Look like nice work though and I too might be giving you a gingle for some future work.

Most of the top-engine parts I have taped off the bolt areas. if not, and those where I dont I will use HD nylon washers to protect the finish. The oil pan will eventually be replaced with a Canton unit, so I wasn't too worried about it. Just kinda figured what the heck while I had it off...

I love that black chrome color. That's the color I plan to paint my valve covers, timing cover and upper intake hat on the Cobra.
