Powder Coating

[Gilligan]

Anyone thinking about having something sand blasted and/or powder coated, now is the time. I just dropped off some things for coating at Ship Point Machine's (Hollywood) powder coating and sand blasting shop and the guys are hungry for some work...things are real slow.

Back when the boss and I were managing computer labs, Fran did some excellent work on some 19" rack panels for us. I have some ATV parts I've been thinking about powder coating, but they may be out of my price range. Things were easy with gov't dollars.

If not, I was dealing with JetHot.com. Didn't actually get anything done by them, decided to use a spray-on ceramic coating. But the manifold needs to be installed after painting so it can cure with engine heat.

Ceramic painted cover and manifold, 4 years and 15,000 miles later. And never did install the red silicon hoses I bought. Still in the box..
