Let's see, what can I powdercoat today?

I have been practicing with my powdercoating system. So, today I thought I'd coat the wipers on my Wife's Nissan--might as well hit the ones on the Mounty also--

The finished (nearly) winch.

All new wiring, a remote, and upgraded solenoids. Plans include synthetic winch line and some lights around it.

Nice. To bad it's on a HEEP

 

[Turdle]

Oh wow, that turned out great! Thanks for posting those Daniel!! Oh--hey--I got your parts today.

For Kris Guilbeau's Jurassic Park --soon to be v8 wagon

Main focus was matching the masking lines from the plennum to the plennum cover. The plennum cover discolored a tad, and, my yellow to green fade did not melt out like it was sprayed on--

It is what it is, still looks freaky and when seen in person --everybody who saw it knew the theme right off. "That reminds me of Jurrassic Park"

That is cool.

My kid needs to make a registry.

I have been ( get it? been? lol ) holding a stock of powder for just such an occasion, but nobody will send me peices of his truck-I think he has one--somewhere.

Try to think of something that's quick to change, like the wiper arms. How hard is it to remove the shift lever arm? What model does Ben have, the 91-97 maybe, do a rear hatch opening lever. No, that'd be hell to swap.

How about the roof rack pieces?

This winter i'll definitely be interested in having you do my intake manifolds, piping, valve covers, water outlet and alternator housing for my 3500 swapped grand am assuming you're still doing this.

DC1 wheels, from this-

To this

OMG!!! SOOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN I EXPECTED!!!

I was thinking you were doing all black with red stripe on the flute, but boy that looks A LOT cleaner.

What color is the silver? Can you take pictures outside since it's so nice today?

The color is "Argento" . The top coat is 40% clear. The 40% makes a huge difference, letting 60 percent of the light "through" while reflecting only 40%. This helps add metallic appearance huh? I found 100% gloss makes this color look more "gray" because it reflects light like a mirror. True you get mirror gloss, but depth goes out the window.


They are installed on post 242 in the "2000 mounty"thread linked down there VVVVVV

Re: red stripe who in their right mind would recommend that or maroon

Oh wait, disregard that last part.....

Looks better than the originals. I would put them on my x

LOL. In regards to the red stripe idea... I've seen it before and some cars can pull it off, but it didn't seem to fit John's ride IMO.

After relooking at the pictures, I am now stuck between this "Argentino" or the light silver in gloss for my wheels... I'll have to see them in person to decide.
