Default Mmmmm...Black Chrome

Powdercoated my first part tonight. Came out pretty good. Ignore my ****ty camera and the reflections that look like dirt/imperfections. Thanks Sam for the color! Loved it so much I had to get some of my own

Hmmm... Is your oven big enough to do some wheel centers?

Looks great!

Yep, I can fit an 18" wheel, maybe 19" in it.

Thanks! I just grabbed one out of the pile to practice on. At least it'll look pretty when the engine is taken apart because nobody is going to see it when it's all put together!

PC'ing is good fun. If only it wasn't so messy I'd have done it more.
