Max, Im working on getting an oven that will fit a motorcycle frame. Soon we hope.

Jon, method to the madness. What if I melted it? Then who cares about an EFI setup. j/k Hector . The Nikkis will be powdercoated from now on. Havent decided on a standard color. Of course youd be able to have it any color(s) you want for an extra charge.

That's kinda cool... though I absolutely love whatever method of coating you guys used before.. I'm not aiming for bling or colour, just clean dull metal

Zinc I believe it was?

Yes it was zinc plating. And it isint as durable as we thought it would be. I think just a nice aluminum finish will be standard. Not blingin, but nice.

i vote for black or silver

well ... since you did a manifold, then it's obvious that you can powdercoat aluminum. let me know how and what i should do to prep some stock rims. i'll want to have those done some time in the future ...

good idea Carl.

Fedex says they're on the truck for delivery today. Can't wait to get home and take a look. I started cleaning the perches and I have the shocks ready to install with the springs this weekend. I'll take pics. Just ignore how crappy everything else looks. well, I guess it won't matter. The eyes will be drawn to the beee-u-tiful springs.

Carl, I have a question. What temps do you bake the powder at, and how long does it take?

got mine too!

Rx7carl

hotty, depends on the powder, but 350-450F. Time is about 30 min total. Yes its ALOT of electricity being used.

Glad you guys got your stuff. The springs are a test. Your a guinea pig slashdawg. Some parts of the springs werent properly prepped. We'll see how it holds up over time and what areas start flaking if any.
Bizzaro, there are 3 minor blemishes on your intake, but hey it was free. Thanks for being a guinea pig.

Dont deluge me people, no more freebies.
