How it looks now, not done but you get the idea

I'll should have some more up very soon. If you guys have any comments good or bad feel free to let me know. I'm always open to suggestions.

I think that looks great, I'm gonna want Maggy's valve covers done once the turbo swap begins. Can your oven do a Cobra upper intake?

Yep, I should have pics of Jesse's Explorer upper intake here in the next couple days.

nice stuff

Looks good. Can you do any high temp coating? Specifically headers?

pm me some info on prices (or post here) looks like you do really good work. id like you to powder coat my valve covers if you have the time. im going to pick up a extra set of stockers.
i like the "mirror black" valve cover look. but also the chrome looks really good. any more pics?

Looks good, what type of powder you use?

It is not recommended to do the high temps in the same gun you do other powders. So at the moment I'm not doing high temps. I'm hoping to invest in a nicer gun very soon so when I do I'll start using my current gun and doing high temp powder. I figure come winter alot of guys may have their engines apart which would be a great time to do some headers.

The chrome ones I have pictured are for sale for $60. If you trade me a set of yours you can have them for $40. If you just want to send me a set to do as long as they are cleaned up and degreased I will do any regular color for $40 and chrome for $50. If there is other stuff you want done just let me know and I'll pm you a price.

I can get pretty much anykind but pretty much everything I have on hand is a polyester TGIC. If there is something specific you want let I should be able to accomodate.

I am going to need some parts for my coupe coated. I will get a list of stuff together and you can give me some rough prices. Thanks.

Ryan just get me a list of what you need done, it should not be a problem at all. Just keep in mind that whatever you need done should be able to withstand 400deg temps. So doing parts like 2 piece balancers is not a good idea.

WOW the powder coating looks great

nice quality work. I may be getting in touch over the winter to have you do a few things for me

How high of temperature can the powdercoating hold up to?

That is nice looking work.

--Bill

looks mean... you do a good job

Most powders cure in the 375-400 range. They should be fine below that and even a bit hotter for shorter durations. I believe sustained high temps can discolor it. I'm hoping to have a new gun soon so I can use my old one for high temp powders. They will withstand temps in the 1200deg range. How hot does the hot side of a turbo get? BTW thanks for the compliments guys.

:drool:

I love it!

Kenny, cant I put black paint in the grooves of the upper intake without hurting anything? Will it wipe off of the rest of the raised lines fairly easy?

Yeah Jesse you could do that, just have a damp cloth handy as you do it to wipe off the excess. I've heard of guys using model paint to do some detail work like you want.

Good, I've got plenty of that!

How big of a part can you bake? Are you just using a regular kitchen oven to bake these?

Hey pm me a price to do upper and lower control arms gloss black. Thanks

Bill I am currently using a normal kitchen oven but I've built an extension for it that will allow me to do parts approx 40" long. If things go well I've already got my eye on an oven that will allow me to do parts at least 5' long.
