Well technically, that is how it is suppose to be done when dealing with anymore more then 1 coat. By only baking for half the time you only allow the Powder to reach its jell state vs curing. But you need to cure the last Coat or it wont be near as durable since its never been cured. The hazy problem is due to the Clear Coat itself as it will slightly dull the base coat making it appear hazy etc. But throw in an extra Coat and it can get worse. > [@Chevy 350 people get in hurrrr](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/chevy-350-people-get-in-hurrrr/14441/18): > > wow that looks good man > curious, how much would all this cost approx.? Well, only thing I’ve had to buy or actually pay for up until now are the bushings & some caliper seals so approx $250 ? I have no idea how much time I actually have into it as I just work on it here and there in my spare time but removing all the bushings + metal sleeves from the Subframe, Arms and Spindles is a PITA! and extremely time consuming. Powder Coating wise… I charge $120 or a Subframe. Arms vary depending what’cha got or what kinda shape their in (undercoating is a BITCH to remove). Another quick picture while I’m replying thou… Will hopefully end up Coating them this weekend 😃 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-suspension-restoration-project/108682)._
