Oh, nice. If I ship those 3.1 intakes back to you, will you coat them for me?
'98 Volvo V90 - Ford 5.0 swap in progress
'96 LR Range Rover 4.6 HSE - suspiciously reliable
'92 Volvo 740 Wagon - former parts car, now daily-driver beater
'71 Opel Kadett Wagon - 1.9L CIH w/ Weber DGV 32/36, in bits -
Looks like my semi-gloss black one.
Nice! That won't chip when working on the engine. You got me there, I have to be extra careful.
But I got you on 2 other things. 1) I removed the tabs and other silly stuff first. and 2) I have a cool Chevrolet logo. Let's see you make the logo with powder coat!! haha 
If my paint on the logo ever craps out, I planned to just go all black and not re-do it. In that case it might be worth while to have it powder coated for durability. Same goes for valve covers.
That looks really good. I like that semi-gloss/flat look. Factory looking engine finish if you ask me.

I happen to like the tabs. They make it easy to have wire seperators and the such on them
Function over form in a racing application

Yeah some applications like the later year W and N bodies can use em where they ran the wires over the front. In the L body not even my old 3100 side hole was used for anything, so off they came!
If I ever need anything to match my current stuff I know who to go to!sigpic New 2010 project (click image)

They look bad...........ass!
How did you get that "crinkle" finish? You did a better job sanding the front stuff flat. I didn't think to use a block and hand sand it smooth. Mine is a bit un-even from the die grinder lolsigpic New 2010 project (click image)

I have UIM, LIM, VC, and some brackets that would be great done up in that color with another color to contrast it.
Although I have other areas that need the funding so that is just something I cannot budget currently.

I'm reasonable, but shipping all that stuff might make it less feasable.Originally posted by 1988GTU View PostI have UIM, LIM, VC, and some brackets that would be great done up in that color with another color to contrast it.

$60 a lot for whatever I can stuff in the oven. It's about 20"wx17"dx13h", a little smaller than a house oven.
Might be able to get a set of covers and UIM at once, LIM by itself.Comment
