Nice job....What's the process for doing the bolts like you did? Is this chrome powder? TJ

I bead blast the bolts and degrease them. I then heat them up to 250 degrees for about 15 min to make sure all grease and oil are gone. I usually wire 5 or 6 bolts together and then tape off the threads. Once all that is done I shoot them with the powder of choice.

Here is the ALMOST CHROME power I use. http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?i...emType=PRODUCT I'm sure others make it but I am a member of their powdercoat club so I get a discount and free shipping.

How about the Hood Hinge? Can you also do powercoat the spring? OR do you have to take it off? TJ

Anything that can carry voltage and withstand the curing temp can be powdercoated. There are some who are talented enough to be able to do plastic but I have not gained that skill. It is best to remove the spring and use some sort of method to expand it just enough so you can get complete coverage. I use a threaded rod and capture nuts to expand a spring.
