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 biggthumpup.gif

I read that the first time you posted it. Doesn't mean he wants that exact same color scheme. Thanks again for the helpful post. biggthumpup.gif

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

dry.gif So I was wrong about the cavi. tongue.gif But I knew what color he wanted for the Mutant. biggthumpup.gif

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?

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.
