A Few Powdercoated AE Pieces

Post by LTO_Dave »

I just finished these AE parts for a friend of a member, and they turned out great so I thought I'd share my results. I was sent a red powdercoated buggy nose to match. After some trial and error, I finally found the right technique and a red powder that's almost a perfect match. :mrgreen:

Dave, those parts look awesome! I have two aluminum shock towers and some cvd’s I want powder coated in the future.

I have about 4-5 places in my area that powder coat parts. Before I get a quote, what do you think is a reasonable price for two shock towers to be powder coated?

Thanks
