Lots of pics of powder coating I've done lately

Looking good Craig, thanks for letting me part of such a cool project.

Hey do you think you can do my factory Jeep Rubicon Wheels? Will it stick??? OMG I would love them to be black. Can you PM a price??? If its possible...

Hopefully cheaper than buying new wheels. Also does it affect balancing at all??

I would also like the chrome headlight trim rings done as well.

Description...

16"x8", 5 spoke production "MOAB" wheel, polished Machine Face clearcoat, with Jeep center cap.
Cast Aluminum Wheels are polished Machine Face and have been treated in a durable clear coat finish. All wheels designed to meet Chrysler strength, corrosion and balance standards. Wheels are sold individually with a Jeep logo center cap.

Here is closeup a pic of them...

A little Googling and found a set someone did..Looks dumb w/o the center cap and the lug nuts done as well..

What do you think of the look????

Well I can finally get back to work. I picked up my new compressor on Tues and got it all plumbed in today. This is my first try w/ iron pipe and I don't think I did all that bad. Hopefully I'll have a report on how the new setup works tomorrow. Anyway here are a few pics. BTW the compessor came from Eaton Compressors in Eaton, OH. They build a really nice compressor and the owner even took the time to introduce himself and thank me for buying a compressor from them. If anyone is looking for a compressor I would definately look into them they are not the cheapest but they do add a ALOT of little extras that you don't see on most compressors. I would say this will be the last one I buy for at least 25-30yrs.

lookin good. as long as you change the oil and blow down your tank every other day it should last you a long time. Usually with an air line you use galvanized pipe instead of black iron. The BI will rust if you have quite a bit of water in your system. As long as your blow down after a days use you should be fine.

The black iron actually came in a kit that is why I used it. Trust me, draining the system will happen a few times a day. I have ball valves everywhere on this setup so draining is a piece of cake.

You should be fine then. You can always buy a automatic drain if you get lazy down the road :D

Finally back up and running. Here is todays work. These are factory wheels off of a Victory motorcycle done in SD Wet Black

i like that black!!

Do you have any satin Bronze, Gold or Gunmetal?

I'm thinking of fixing up my wheels and getting them in a different color...

Also what's the price for two valve covers in black wrinkle?

Kenny the wheels turned out great can't wait to pick them up.

Here is another pretty cool color I finally got around to shooting a sample of yesterday. It is called Viking stainless steel. I may use this to turn some of my brass lamps a nice stainless look.

Can you do the same blue that all the new Ford crate motors have on the valve covers?

I have looked for it but you know how Ford is. I have a color that is similar but is not exact. It is pictured in this thread on a valve cover if you want to see it.

Dropped off some valve covers last night. :bigthumb

Here are a few from today so far. First are some wiper arms in 40% gloss black. The rest are procharger piping and brackets for a hemi truck in mirror black.
