it sounds like you did it the way you worded it? you just use special powder coat paint and oven them up, or do u have the right setup? if so i wnat mine redone lol.



if u want polish letters u can just file off the stuff and it shines...if not its a PITA masking up the lettering.

i got a powder coating system from eastwoodco.com and the gold powder coating. the fumes from the powder are toxic so they tell you about 4 or 5 times not to use your house oven so i did mine in the grill on the top shelf lol. it has a thermometer so i was able to regulate it at 400 degrees.

to get the powder to just go on the emblem would seriously be a pain in the ass, so im gonna try and find some heavy duty or high heat paint and hand paint the emblem black. theyre turning out nicely so far though.

so you have the z32 hub? because thats the only waht the ebrake works. Get the z32 master it makes a huge difference. set up a speed bleeder, cuts the job time in half.
