damn that por15 does look damn good. i think im going to have to call my paint guy and see if i can get it in bulk and do everything. my axles and everything else is already undercoated but that looks ten times better.

POR15 had special locks/clips holding the lid on that I had never seen before. (Im no pro) Label had a stern warning about not getting it on you, gloves, eye protection, incase of emergency, etc etc etc. I did get one or too tiny spots on hands taking my gloves off (wipe gloves with rag before removing) and it took a week to wear off. Good sign, now will it take a hit from a stone? Who knows, guess Ill find out, maybe Ill do a test piece up and let it dry and see what abuse it takes.

Ill be painting my diff/tubes as well. Trucks on jacks, currently concentrating on the parts for the motor so it can go back together. Lots of rain the last while has been slowing down my paint work.

Eastmans have a couple kits for DIY powdercoating. I like the Elite kit you get 5, 1/2lb standard paints, plugs, tape, powdercoaters handbook, gun and power source. If you have an old oven, or toaster oven you can bake parts in them (no cooking with them after) anything larger and you need a heat lamp. Oven method is very fast and the part can be installed as soon as its cool.

If you click the hobby kit there is a short video on powdercoating.
