Not to be a smart ass but........
Powder Coated Candy Blue Cleared with an additive called Firemist Blue. This adds sparkle and fantastic depth. The letters were brushed to a shine The pcv valve was removed and coated in powder coat chrome and cleared then reinstalled 
-------------------- Thanks, Bud!

Doesn't mean he wants that exact same color scheme. Thanks again for the helpful post.

yes, I want the DSM one to be in the same color as the blue one on ebay, with the brushed looking letters and everything; basicly like the way mine looks now, except not heat faded like mine is. here is my garage so that you can kinda see what mine looked like with-out all of the heat fade.
and I want the can a beer one to be candy apple red... no letters on the cover to give the brushed look to mitsu90, can you give me a price and a turn around time??? i'll probably have to do one at a time so that I have one of the cars running while the other is down -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!

So can you powder coat if someone can get the powder they want? And what would a fellow dsmer price be for something like that? -------------------- Thanks, Bud!

There is a place in Bloomington that does powder coating too. I can't think of the name of the place but I think they're on south Veterans; south of Morris ave.
