I was not going to start thread until the car was home, but it is getting close and I want to share some pictures of the car and the progress.

This rear sail panel trim was cerakoted. I don't know what was original, but it is my understanding that it was supposed painted satin black. Before being redone there was a difference in the shade and texture between the long horizontal bar and the curved vertical pieces and had no idea what had been done previously. I originally thought that I would get it black anodized but this proved impractical. A gun store told me about this new cerakote operation which was only about 25 miles away and they ended up doing it. I just was not sure about paint holding up.





I spent about two hours Saturday trying to clean up the fan housing and got a spot about 3x5 inches looking sorta good. Today I took it to the cerakote place and it took him about 10 seconds to clean a 3x5 spot. They had very nice blasting cabinet and I think he said he was using aluminum oxide. I am using the color that is close to the spot that was blasted clean. It is always a struggle for me between trying to b original and practical. I think this is a case where it will look original but better. It maybe just sales info, but when I asked him about heat, he said that cerakote would not hold heat as powder coating. Hopefully I will have some pictures to share in two weeks.

Nice. The cerakote looks to be a great option for the folks who decide to eliminate the brightwork windshield trim and go with the plain rubber seal ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I think a pint ($70.) of this would be more than enough, but not sure if the 4 oz. 'tester' ($35.) would be enough to do all three pieces (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
