Matt if you could get a close up or high res shot, the person who did it for you might have more business… Any idea on the type of PC gun, oven size, or powder used? ---

lol… just cuz it’s purple doesn’t mean it has to be for a girl. Jesus christ. I think it’s a novel idea trying to match up everything to the color of the D2s. ---

ok, it was a fair price. less than 300$ for about 25 peices. i’ll take better pics tomarrow in the light. sorry bout the quality of these ones, i was waiting for my battery in the camera to unthaw. It’s not for a customers car, it’s for my personal 240…many of you know what the car looks like, and again the engine bay is prettier than the outside… Yeah my x helped me pick the colour, then i sold the d2’s so now i got nothing to match them to. All i can say is that the finnish is top notch…comes with clearcoat so i’ll be buffing it to a mirror shine this week. I cannot tell you how happy i am with how the peices look, every hole that has something that screws in or plugs in was plugged to avoid fitment issues. very happy. YES THAT IS MY CIVIC IN TH BACKGROUND! it’s a winter beat so step off! ---

The place is Cambridge Powdercoat and i will be happy to get in touch with the owner on a group buy type deal if there is enough interest. I was talking to him when i picked up my stuff. He had a Kowi bike owner come to get his wheels done, say my stuff and had the frame done in the colour…it look sooooooo nice in person. See you in the spring all. ---

before i forget he offers powder coat, ceramic coat and 3 stage…which some of my stuff is. 3 stage is epoxy primer, the colour and then a clear, hard as nails and gives you the kandy look. It’s used alot on the bigger type things like frames and swaybars…something that won’t fit into the oven. ---
