I thought it was a cool technique too...



Picked up more parts from the powder coater

The side and hood emblems were fairly rough with peeling chrome and heavy pitting. After sand blasting, the PC shop had to use a "primer" coat that helped smooth inconsistencies and allowed the pot metal to breathe a bit (out gas) while being heated to 400 F + the first time, then the final hammer tone coating completely covered the pits...the parts exceeded my expectations.
