I found a great source (cheap) for powder coating!
It's winter here and I may as well do a complete teardown while I'm in there!
(ala: Turtle Girl)
Give me a list of what you'd do!
I'm thinking:
control arms
engine tin
pistons (yeah, it's the all the rage)

Am I missing anything?
really, gimme ideas

My brother owns a powdercoating business in CT. He's done complete race and track cars. I am thinking of doing a complete 356 coupe. They hold up pretty well. My rocker panels are still as pretty as when they came out of the oven 2 years ago. However, my rims look like (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) because of the brake dust. I've also done suspension, brackets and, best of all, the engine lid and side pieces, which are GT style. They look great too.

Make sure he blocks off the screw holes, or you'll be fixing that problem for hours!

Also do NOT want to do stuctural stuff. Cages are especially bad.

The reason for not doing cages is because the powdercoating is too strong, and it will stay intact over cracks in seams and welds.
