I actually wanted to paint the car the same as my helmit but it would cost way too much for all that candy paint and grafix.

I cannot express how happy I was to get the chassis back today. The pictures just dont do it justice as to how nice of a job they did. If you ever need wheels, parts, anything powdercoated in the orange area, even if your inland or la, go to these guys. Best work and best price hands down. O and they have a 25 foot oven for things like cars?



Here is the proof, and you have to see it in person to really get the feel of it. 2 stages, base was a metalic silver, then a red candy over it. I almost went with a blue color but I'm really happy with the red.













I mean it even powdercoated under the car, I really wish I spent a day wire wheeling the damn undercoat off. O well, next time and every time after this, acid dip then add cage, then add powdercoat. Can you belive this costed less then half of what I was quoted for paint?

Edit, If I see another car with the same color done at the same place, I will key your ****!!! THey have lots of custom colors so pick your own.

Wait. Alex, are you building this car for D1, FD, or just a general new drift car for yourself.

look great. what color is the exterior going to be?

i had a question about your cage. you have the bars going from the main hoop all the way to the back of the trunk frame rails. then you have two sets of X-bras tying the main hoop top and bottom to the those bars. why did you ty any part of the cage into the rear shock towers. the wheel wells are a one of the strongest parts of the car simply due to their shape.

am i missing something. is your cage a specific style? there are rally cages, DTM cages, nascar cages. is this just so you can pass tech?
