I am finally ready to take my chassis, A-Arms, and differential to be sandblasted & powder-coated.

What do you guys think: Gloss Black or Semi Gloss Black??

I personally like semi-gloss.

Whatever you want is what you get! We went with Gloss Black on ours.

It will "Dull Up", so think about it!?

I'm a big help here...
Had my Elky frame powdercoated chassis black and have had my Camaro A-arms and inner fenders coated gloss black. Actually like them both. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif Either way...easier to keep clean.

califgman,
How are you going to prep the hallow parts of the frame where the powder won't reach?
I'm getting ready to have my frame done as well. Thanks

I am having the places where powder-coating won't bond primered & sealed by hand..as best as possible.

B64--I spray the inside part of my frame with wax oil where the coating didnt reach!(the little red straw gets it in all the small holes just fine!)
