Default Powder Coated Eye Candy

I decided to create a thread dedicated to the parts I have done, new parts, new styles, possibilities, etc. Lot of the pics on here will be custom stuff not available directly from my website, but "can" be available.

Anything that I haven't done before will be posted here. Custom parts, new colors, it will all be posted here. Finished parts from GB's as well. It's easier to post them all in one place rather than digging up email addresses and sending them out individually.

I have a few pics now. I will have a BUNCH more later today, and next week.

This thread will also have a lot of before and after pics. Within the next week expect to see a custom autopower rollbar, 944 door handles, and custom ac delete brackets, and on, and on.

someone inquired about a blue intake manifold, but that's as far as it got. the blue does look very good. i've seen it in the shop on some other stuff (non-car related), it's NICE!

I had wanted to do a white intake, and caster951, finally ordered one.

now the next color i want to do is the blue...... just waiting on the right customer i guess.......

It's a little darker than a NOS bottle. That's the best way I can describe it....

pm me if you want to chat further about color options...

I'm working on a before, during , after thread I will be putting together really soon.

A customer sent me some cam covers from his 928. He wants them coated in the original "tan" color, and wants a set of JagEng Cam Inset Lettering to go with them.

I'll be taking LOTS of pic ofs the whole process, sand blasting, coating, etc.

here's a before pic....


Pretty rough, huh.

It seems like the parts were buried under 3-4 ft of dirt.....
