normie Sep 16th, 01, 7:41 PM The only reason you should not is... If you can't afford it.. otherwise go too it http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif a friend of mine went powdercoating crazy... he learned one thing.. It provides much better protection from Brake fluid than any other paint http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif MAXX2 Sep 16th, 01, 9:21 PM Don't hesitate another moment. Do It.

You'd then want to do some filling and sanding, then have it painted with a quality finish. otherwise, indeed go for it! ------------------ Dan Orgill Tc #466 BillsCamino Sep 17th, 01, 6:22 AM Rlcsron, I had the complete Elky frame blasted and powdercoated last year in a chassis black. Great idea...looks good and easy to clean. A little pricey though. I think it cost me $600. ------------------ Bill Burke TC#613 ACES#3920 '67 El Camino "SS" 468 BB,T400,4.11 12 bolt '80 Camaro RS 355, T350, 3.73 67 El Rat (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/billscaminopassside.jpg) 80 Camaro RS (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/Bills80CAMARO.JPG) Rick_Nelson Sep 17th, 01, 8:06 AM Most of the frames I do get powdercoated (if they aren't too pitted) and typically cost me $425-$500 including sand blasting. I can't paint one for that. Also, they are MUCH more forgiving to stains and scratching. Only way to go. ------------------ "Details Make the Difference" Musclecar Restoration and Design | ||
