The rule seems to be:

"If I touch it, then it's getting refinished."

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
powder coated door striker plates ( think the weird one that's just glare it powder coated nice and even )

not sure if burning off the excess oil off them spacers was a wise choice, they were perfect black(ish) in color before I done did that

I like it. When I painted my hood springs, they were collapsed, so of course the paint is only on the outer portions of the coils.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
You will probably run into the Faraday Effect when powdering the spring. The tight variance between the springs will make it so that the powder has trouble sticking. You may want to consider Hot Flocking the spring (shoot the powder when the part is hot) this will allow for the tight spaces to get covered with powder. Just a suggestion. Enjoy!

big bertha is the bomb, I learned something that I want to share with other Rookie media blasters like me, the way you tell you speced your shop vac correctly for your media blasting cabinet is when it can suck the gloves right in to the box and hold them up in the air without your hands in them

but seriously the vac sucktion issue has been taken care of
