Early Classic Powercoating Questions

I have a few questions for anyone who mas bought multiple suspension parts from ECE. I am looking at buying the 4/6 kit, ladder bars, extreme drop, etc., but am holding off until July 4th weekend hoping for a sale (which I think they usually have 10% off). I do want to move forward and try and get someone started on powdercoating my frame and all now, though and want to try and best match the parts I will be getting from ECE. I'm not looking for an exact match, but don't want to get high-gloss parts and do my other parts in flat black (for example). By the time I would get the parts in it would probably be mid-July, so I'm just trying to get some input from anyone who has used multiple parts from them.

1) Are all the suspension parts powdercoated the same color (black)?
2) Are all the suspension parts the same shade of black?
3) Does anyone have an approximate powder color that they use? Maybe compared to an Eastwood powder.

I know it would probably just make more sense to ask them, but you know. Wanted to get some feedback from other board members too.

Thanks for your help - Chad

Re: Early Classic Powercoating Questions

I've used 2 of their 'hidden hitches' & have a dropped trailing arm crossmember (I used to have their shock relocator once upon a time too). All were powder coated 'semi-gloss' black. Not too glossy & not flat.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Early Classic Powercoating Questions

I have their trans crossmember and my frame is powder coated Jet Black. They match perfectly. Like scoti said, its a semi gloss or Satin black finish.
