Finally did my powdercoating

[FIMS]

I had some spare time this weekend so I broke down and finally did all my DDM stuff

Now the color I used is "Starbrite Orange" which is a transparent candy... Since I didnt want a ton of the same color under the hood, I used two different base coats. On the intake heat shield and the intercooler diverter I used a chrome base and on the intake tube and the coil cover I used a black base...

And for the love of all thats good and holy, can there be a less cocaine-like way to package the clear? I was afraid Charley Sheen and Lindsey Lohan were gonna show up while I was working.

Before I realized what it was i was completely lost

I looked in the background and busted out laughing!!! I just pay attention to details.... Must be the previous criminal justic training I had....

The powder coating looks awesome! IDK why everyone is so obsessed with the crotch picker, like they have never picked a melvin

I think it looks great.

I didn't even read your post when I saw the last picture and thought it was coke. hahaha

Luke approves of the color choice.

I didnt notice Vinny Photobombing the picture till it was too late, and it was the only pic of it in chrome that I had.

Eric... Gotta pay for the parts somehow right? Selling coke is just a lot easier than actually working! (side note, I do not sell coke in my spare time)

And Im just not getting the Luke reference Preloader, But I do want to thank you, as you inspired me to do this, you and your kawi green-ness

looks great man, I want to take off my engine cover and paint it but i'm not sure on how to go about it. time for a thread search!

The Luke reference: DooDooBrown.

Hahaha

Yea Ive got to try to grab a couple pics in the daytime sometime this week, it is a little dark with just the lights from the garage

I like it. My reference wasn't meant to be negative. It's just a song that pops in my head EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE BROWN. I've been permanently scarred by early 90's rump shaking rap.

I'm going to store that knowledge away and use it at a later point in time.

And I figured you were not being negative, still I feel that I need to show the true color off
