You're getting pretty close to it.

The rule seems to be:

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

in the super unlikely event that she is reading this thread, I just wanna wish my ex-fiancé happy 22nd anniversary on the 22nd

**pjmoreland** · 07-22-2022, 12:58 PM

Happy anniversary, Gregski! Have fun celebrating!

**72 tigger** · 07-23-2022, 01:02 PM

Happy anniversary! My parents are celebrating their 62nd today. What did she see in you?

CG · 07-23-2022, 01:16 PM

Im confused is she your ex fiance because she became your wife (weird way of putting it, but you have some weird ways lol), or is this someone that left you at the alter?

reason #67 why I luv these trucks, everything is serviceable, and I mean everything, [can your 2022 Tesla beat that?]

**Gregski** · 07-27-2022, 02:46 AM

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

**Gregski** · 07-27-2022, 02:53 AM

the hood hinge Spreaderator 3000

media blastin' and powder coatin' friendly

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.

oldgymnast · 07-27-2022, 01:31 PM

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!

I may have just gotten lucky

mandatory stare and compare of them crusty hand slicers and once powderized

Next we want to see the spring finger pincher reconnected to hinged marvel hand mangler.. ....your parts are looking better than new, how is the shop vac holding up with the sand blasting sand?

oldgymnast · 07-28-2022, 08:32 AM

They look great! Well done!

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
