Colourific Coatings (http://www.colourificcoatings.com/) in Mississauga. I've used them multiple times on the recommendation of a high-end auto restorer. They're excellent, reasonably priced and gladly deal with us auto entusiasts.

Have not got the parts back yet but I've seen his work and it's really good. Am in the process of getting a GT3 wing with deck lid and will be getting the deck lid powder coated by him as well.

Thanks, look forward to hearing the outcome. I have a set of ccw wheels that I need stripped and coated.

Is this a before or after pic?

I used to buy sled parts from them. Nice guys. I think they honed their skill engraving tomb stones.

Um. That's the after pic. Yes they still do headstones there .. sorta a one stop shop I guess. I left that part out. But yes once you get past the gravestones in the front. Your all good. Lol. I don't think I have a before pic but it was old oily porsche parts.

My powdercoater says that the coating will flex a little so I'm not to worried about it. I don't think the strap stretches when you tighten it and I can always touch up any spots if they are visible.

i just dropped off 5 ccw c10's at RoRo in Paris. They need a full strip of the original coating, 4 layers of spray paint and assorted track debris and one needs to have an old scar fixed as the filler weld is beginning to crack. Was pleasantly surprised that he has a guy that can fix so it is a one stop shop. I saw some finished work in the shop and it looked good. Current turn around is about a month as it is a small shop & he is busy. Pricing is in line with others at appx $90/wheel & about the same for the repair. Will post some pics when done.
