I felt like a kid at christmas unwraping these parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I definately got the "while you're at it" attitude when gathering this group of parts to have coated.

The black parts are all "wrinkle black". The wrinkle black has a slight texture.

Not sure how well powder coating will work on the hood springs. But, gonna find out how well it will hold up.

One more pic. Tough to hold the parts and take a pic! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Wanted to show the colors together. The shroud is "black chrome".

That looks sweeet! Don't think it will hold up on the flexy parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

WOW! That's almost as sexy as a dusty Volvo hood.

Seriously, that's nice. I'd consider putting it under glass and making a table out of it because it's too purdy to hide under the engine lid.

Can you post some more pics of the black chrome? I am really considering doing all my suspension in this color.

That does look sweet, I would cover it with plexiglass so it doesnt get dirty. I wonder if you could seal off the engine compartment and then only open it for shows.

Sure.

Here's the front strut... I think this before the clearcoat.

This is the front suspension in black chrome.

You don't have to get specific, but is this affordable for a cheapskate 914 guy like me? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

How much prep is required from the customer? (i.e. cleaning, strip old paint, finish sanding, plug holes?)

I recommend that you check the classic thread section for two discussions of powdercoating.

I purchased a powdercoating set from Columbia Coatings. It's a family run business, and I've had nothing but exceptional service from them.

Powdercoating is easy. The standards to p/c is pretty much the same for painting a car. Clean metal, degreased (and I used a wipe-on/off phosphorus treatment like Ospho).

The kit and supplies are very affordable. My first time powdercoating was the set of pieces above... and I'm happy with the way they turned out. The kit and supplies was cheaper than having them profesionally done... and I still have the kit and TONS of supplies.

For me, DIY is the way to go!

Hope this helps,

I am really interested in doing the Chrome Black powdercoating and I was planning on getting it done at a shop, but your results are promising. Can you direct me towards which system that you purchased? What other equipment do you need? How big is your oven? I am interested in coating everything from the suspension to all the misc small hinges and stuff.
