This is the first time that I have had anything powder coated. It won't be the last!
The color is black chrome. The color should look good on a signal orange car with black fender wells and black bottom side. - for those oh so few times that anyone will actually see the suspension parts.

Very nice!
What did it cost to have that pile powder coated Doug? I've done that same pile of parts myself. I'm curious what my effort was worth.

Doug,
What's the black car? Looks like my TR3, but the badge is wrong...

Indy Powder Coating is located on Main St. about half way between the track and the GM Allison plant. Turn east at the yellow flashing light. They have a web site. They recently moved from Gasoline Alley and have not updated the website with the new address. A lady named Charlie works there and she is very good to work with.
They only do the power coating at their location. They have Redi-strip do their blasting work. The sandblasting part of the bill was $128. The total bill was $464. If i would have chose a single coat color it would have been about $120 less. The black chrome requires a clear coat.
The black car is a 57 fuel injected vette. It is a car that my father-in-law built years ago. It is a beautiful car!!! We have been working on getting it running properly - looking forward to driving it this summer!

Whoa, that was wierd! That interior picture showed up in MY new post for mounting the front bumper!
I had to edit and replace that picture with the proper one I originally selected from my machine. Weird!
