Man I just can't tell if these eBay special dust shields are coated with something or just raw, so I think I need to powder coat them, I highly doubt they be chrome

what the H, this is the only piece that has failed me so far, and I cleaned it with the same Wax n Grease remover before powderizing it like it's twin and all the other pieces I done did already, and I tried powder coating it twice already too and it still failed, again

and then I powder coated it again, and although this time it took, ie the powder stuck, it dried all dull ie matt instead of glossy
and I powder coated a door hinge at the same time and that dried nice and glossy like all the other parts, so I have no idea what is up with this saucer and honestly as long as it's black and protected from rusting I really don't care |

happy to report the final assembly has commenced and with the help of two great new friends and forum members without whom there is no way I could have done what we did today, we got the trans mounted, the cab mounted, and the crossmember installed (we could not mount the control arms as I am still waiting on the rubber seals
