...for powdercoating
Well,
Back to business.
Jon,
Nice job with the intake. Is that platinum with semi gloss black and a top coat of clear?
Plan on the same type thing for my GT-40 upper. Base platinum, ribs semi gloss. Clear vision top coat.
Tried the top cover plate as Franklin Gray base. Inlay Ford Blue, Raised letters Semi Gloss black. Didn't like how it looked so out came the Methyl Chloride.
Clear vision is strange. It takes the platinum down a notch in gloss till it's seen in the sunlight.
View attachment 88766Jon,
What do you think Clear Vision will do to these?
Will it bond?
That's (2) weeks worth of work each.
Naw
I'd get some "polished aluminum" from NIC and then clear it for long term clean up ease.
Polished alimunum looks sexy but it is too much work. The rouge compounds used for polishing may yellow under the clear, which is why I would do a base coat then clear.

So Jon, you are suggesting powdercoat over the valve covers, and make it "polished aluminum" and clear?
I bought two sets of "BOSS" FMS VC's to use on two of my SBF's. They are flat on top like a Cleveland, but made for the Windsor SBF heads(six bolts not eight), they came on the crate motor 347's I believe.
Do you have a picture showing what that "polished aluminum" looks like?

Hi Don, good to hear from you.
Here is a product link. Toward the bottom are some sample pictures, scroll to the right for examples without a color top coat.

Here are my wheels that Jon did in "Super Chrome" and I thought the end result was more of a polished aluminum look (which is exactly what I wanted). Just another idea
Hi Joel.
I'd have recommended that one, however there is a "raw materials" issue and that color has been on back order for quite a while. I bought the last 10 lbs, and have just around 5 remaining.

Well that's a bummer and lucky me! LOL
Limited02,
Nice Rims. They make your rig stand out.
IMO.
Thank you! Unfortunately the Explorer is no longer with me as I sold it on 12/31/2015. Treated me well after 10 years and I enjoyed making it my own.
