omg that's amazing, and funny you mentioned that cuz my buddy was actually just askin me if I wanted anything on my car powdercoated, and I wasn't sure if all the components could handle it, but aparently they can!
I think I might be seding some of my stuff his way soon...
Did you have to do anything to em before you sent it out or did they take care of the cleaning before coating?

I sand blasted all the parts and cleaned them before I sent them out. It was free my neighbor is a really nice guy.

Well how nice is your neighbor, is he willing to help all your forum friends as well. No, but seriously, find out how much would he want for this kind of procedure: mainly on valve covers and intake manifold and the same two water pipes. Please Thanks

What Jimmy said....I wouldn't mind paying for the same results.

looks great. If I wasn't into stealth I think my TIII would look nice with the intake and valve covers in chrome. Help Jimmy get his done that way if he can't beat me he can look good losing. :laugh:

I'll call him this morning and try to get prices for you guys and contact info as to where to ship the parts. Thanks for the compliments.

Ok guys I called him, here is the deal. The parts have to be CLEAN and I mean clean like shotblasted and de-greased. He said ball park the parts I had don't would have run $300 so for a manifold and valve covers with two coolant pipes I would plan on $200.00 to be safe. He said you would have to ship them UPS with your contact information. When he gets the parts he would contact those of you individually to give final prices. He only runs the chrome a few times a month so it will take some time to get your parts back.

If you are still interested post up what you want done so I can give him a list of what to expect. If there is enough interest he will authorize me to give the shipping information. It is reputable company I assure you. They are located in Southern New York.

Is this the place located near RPM? I stopped in there before asking about my struts but never got it done, just sandblasted and painted them.

That is the most funniest thing I've ever heard, cause the only way you can beat my car, is if you took all 4 of my tires off :nana:

I think it would look good on your TGP Jimmy. Thinking about getting it done? I'll tell you what we can race and I'll give you a 2 cylinder head start you use 6 cylinders and I'll use just 4 cylinders. But I get to use a T3 turbo. And don't forget the weight differance my car has at least an extra 200 pounds of driver. :thumb:

Looks great. :icon_mrgreen: I've been thinking about buying a cheap powder coating setup to try out since I've seen pretty good results from them(as long as you do really nice prep work beforehand).
