Well I finally got my engine parts back from the metal re-finisher and I think it was worth the wait. The shop specialized in wheel refinishing for the tuner crowd but was interested in branching out. I figured that they'd be able to relate to auto finishes better than your standard metal fabricator shop so I took a chance.

Be advised though I chose not to go with exact factory finishes and color for reasons of personal taste. The look is similar but certainly not exact. See what you think.

First up are the ceramic coated heat exchangers in 'Tungsten':

Engine tin after in 'Satin Black' powder coat which seems more flat than the factory finish but I still like it equally if not better

Heat ducting before with 'custom' grey finish

Ducting after in 'Porsche Silver' powder coat similar to factory rim color

Fan shroud before

Fan shroud after in 'Satin Clear' powder coat which I really like. Coating only applied to exterior for what its worth.

Last up is the engine from Original Customs which will be their new home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
