Default Powdercoated underhood pictures

A few weeks ago I got a bunch of stuff powdercoated on my tC, finally got some pictures taken last week.

Parts powdercoated: Valve cover, DC Strut bar, Stiffy mounts, Radiator mounts and GReddy Air Diversion panel (the panel is silver as the candy purple wouldn't work, the material cools too quick for the two-stage powder)
I've also replaced nearly all the 10mm Fasteners under my hood with Hex bolts and Candy-purple SS washers. Hard to see in the photos though.











And a shot with some of the other cars from my club: (mine is in front )

Candy Purple My gauges are also purple/white I've got a theme goin. Tryin to keep the ride lookin mono silver until you open the hood/get inside the car. Trying to be subtle. Of course the rainbow exhaust kind of throws that off a bit.

The heatshiled will be leaving when the turbo kit goes in sometime next year :D Thinking of just paiting it flat-black for now so it's not such an eye-magnet tho.

Jeff's Powder Coating in Monroe, Mi. I'm pretty sure he'll work via mail too. Turnaround time was as close to immediate as you can get (got everything back in less than 48 hours, 'cept the diversion panels as he had to re-do them.) and he was very reasonable on the price.

Maybe if you learn how to ask strangers nicely they might humour you, me I'm not wasting my time.

well i dont think he was really being rude the pics are not close enough to see the work truthfully and for your topic to b e about the powdercoating job people really want to see it andf the the pics arent up to par for that. Sorry its the truth man. I mean it does look good but closer pics make it much better for your thread.
