JMUBullnose Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hi all - as I stare forlornly at the valve covers and other parts I pulled from the junkyard earlier this year - I'm wondering if most you guys ship your parts out for powder coating or go to local shops? The contact I had locally to do powder coating (and let me help!) decided to pack up shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever had it done locally, but then again I have lots of options. There are 2-3 commercial powder coating shops in the industrial park where I work, and then I know of a few other back yard guys that do it also.

Gary Lewis has been generous in assisting a few who have attended the OK GTGs in the past. He is quite knowledgeable about the subject. He has a spray booth and designated oven.

I also sent some convertible top hardware and a bag of Eastwood satin finish chrome powder as they are right where the sun can hit them with the top down. Once I get a chance to get all the top hardware from 2 tops together I will sen him the hooks and pins to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
