I would have just as soon posted under 'what did you do to your Fiero today', but I didn't want to flood the topic with all the photos. We were pulling sand out of hair until 4:am & blowing black snot the entire next day. It was my first time sand blasting & powder coating. I just started pulling off anything I could :P

Before

After hand sanding & blasting

Prepping for powder coat

Powder coating in action

The end result

Installed in the car

If this isn't the right place, I apologize.

Those craftsman power coat guns are real handy. Did you use your home oven for this? My wife would kill me I think. The end result looks very nice and should last forever. Nice work and thanks for sharing. Peace

It wasn't in my kitchen. I helped clean up, guilt free & slept easy. lol

I was thinking the same thing the entire time. He powder coats everything, so I guess she's used to it?

I need to do that on my Indy. I wonder if they have the correct silver/gray color.
