No More Rattle Can

I hooked up with my bro-in law this past weekend and watched him do some powder coating on a couple of 4 wheeler foot pegs. I'm completely sold! It is faster than rattle can and the finish is kick ass. I watched him do some textured finished on some foot pegs and it dont get much better than that. I am a rattlle can guy from way back, but I ordered my powder coat gun tonight. I also ordered some chrome and some clear powder.

My co worker that works beside me does it at home for extra money. Be prepared to buy an oven and a blasting cabinet. He already feels limited by the size of his equipment!

Member Scottrod had his grill done, It looked good but it didn't look like chrome.

I offer Chrome Powder coating for my customers here in my shop. It does have a neat look to it, but it does not have the mirrored finish that chrome has. They should call it "Dirty Polished Aluminum" powder coat.
