Default Powder Coating

Guys,

I got tired of depending on people to do this type of work. So I decided to get an unit myself and got a nice oven too. This is my first try and it looks mighty good. It looks better in person. I used Harly Davidson Black with Texture. Here is the picture before

looks great, fortunately I have a local powdercoater thats fast, inexpensive and does the best work I've seen. Near my old house that wasnt the case & almost took your route but we moved soon thereafter.

I'm sorry David, this post would have been fine as a DIY or to show off your nice PC work, but PWR has posted several solicitations on our forum last evening against our forum rules (which I am in the process of removing). This thread is closed.
