Looking to get the engine tin powdercoated. What is a fair price? Had one estimate, seemed really big to me. I realize this will vary from here to there, but what have others paid for this service?
Anyone have any good references for the mpls/st paul MN area? Dave |

semi gloss is always a good idea. It's SO hard to maintain 'high gloss' under the bonnet. When I restored the engine of both my TR3A and my Saab 96, I opted for semi gloss as well. It's much easier to spot oil leaks: "If you see a shiny part, you're in trouble" sort of trick.
For now, I'm leaning to the all-metallic side! Combined with a modern day fire wall covering, I'm sure it will all be a lot easier on the eye! Menno (Little off topic: a professional car restorer I know paints the back of dashboards white: much easier when you're lying on your back with a torchlight in your mouth, replacing dashboard light bulbs...)
