When do you think Kevin will be done with my parts ? Just curious if there was an update. Can't wait to see them in BLUE !
It's 0930 CST and I've been off work about an hour. I am going to get the parts that I have now coated today before I go to bed. Hopefully they will be done while there is plenty of good light out so I can take a few pictures.....

:scratch: I just updated 8 hours earlier? You want hourly updates?

LOL! I can't wait to see that Candy Blue as well. Thinking of having a set of motorcycle rims done that color.

Okay..it's 1400 and I haven't been to sleep yet! The intake took way longer than I expected...needed tons of prep. It had such a rough cast finish the candy didn't look right. So I smoothed the whole thing out. Looks pretty now! LOL!!

Here is a picture of the intake....valve covers are in the oven outgassing right now. I'm going to try and finish these today....but I'm going to have to sleep soon. I have to work again tonight at 2000.

Enjoy!



-Kevin

Okay....all done! Brad will be picking them up soon. Sorry for the extended time on these parts. We have (at my real job...lol) several people on vacation and let me tell you, when they say there is a nursing shortage...it's da truth! I've gotten 42 hours in the past three days!

Anyway..enough of that....let's get to the good stuff.

Red Ryder - Candy Blue!


The little Harley is there just to give an idea of the reflection.

Eleanor Dreaming - Anodized Red w/Metal Flake


The effect of the flake is always hard to get in a picture!

Hope you guys enjoy!

Merry Christmas to all you guys!!

Thanks,
Kevin

Is it possible to powder coat after market headers? I'm thinking of getting headers and was wondering if the matched the covers it would look real cool.

can you do a super mirror black on the K&N intake tube? It's a rough plastic.

Well.... to answer your question derynf, you can Powder Coat the exhaust system but you may want to know whats going to happen once the pipes heat up.

The coatings can withstand like 300-something degrees or so I thought.

My headers reach temperatures of 1300 degrees.

You will have a mess and a very strange smell underhood.

I dont suggest it. :P
