Would you mind telling me what they charged to powder coat all those parts?

And, did you just take them the parts, or did you have to sandblast them first?

looking real good

FILICE72C10 · 08-10-2003, 11:19 PM

4 a-arms
front springs
disk covers
2 front wheel wells
other misc small parts

$200.00

I cleaned all the parts first with a wire brush but they guy ended up sand blasting all the parts again.

They turned out great.

Wow...that looks great. I like the inner fenders as well. Definitely worth 2 bills.
