[C3] Good ole powder coating.......

[Kap142]

OK finally made it to Brothers Powder Coating and learned from (brother) Steve that the valve covers were never properly prepped prior to powder coating. So I'm having them re-do someone Else's poor quality work.

Am trying to decide on a near Chevy Orange or a very creative and beautiful (totally non original)l finish called "Moon Dust Orange" A pearl over orange that is OMG sharp. Yep probably gonna have to get out there and do it 'cause I like it.

No worries my "original" brothers every original part is saved.

I'll update later and Dave, thanks

THIS THREAD IS USLESS WITHOUT PIX!!!!!!
Keep us updated on the progress and let us see the final results.
Might be nice to see some before and after pix.
Good luck with the re-powder coat Ken.
We'll be in Florida this Friday for Steak-Out '10 at the Stean & Shake
on SR 580 in Clearwater. Look us up if you, Carrie, and Goldie are there.
Andy and Dotty.

Hey Andy, as always good to hear from you.

We wont make Stake Out this year, Goldie is in too many parts, Am doing the valve covers, Tracy is reconditioning my distributor and I have a new A/C compressor and parts on their way in.

Hope to see you guys soon and I will post some after pictures. I didn't think about before pics, the covers looked like hell.

THAT'S the reason for the b-4 pix YUK-YUK-YUK. So that WE can see what caused you to have them redone in the first place. Too bad about you not being able to bring Goldie, but them's the breaks. We'll be thinking about you anyway and will catrch you at one of the future shows. Good luck with the projects..........a C3 mo definitely NEEDS a working A/C. Probably could benefit from some of that sound deadening/heat reflecting stuff (Dynamat????) as well.

Hey Ken........anything new on the valve covers?
Are they done yet, or is Brother's still working on them?
Missed you and Carrie at Steak-Out, but had a good time anyway!

Hey Andy,

Will call Michael at Brothers tomorrow, he said they should be ready but it's OK if that take a few more days. I'm still fighting with the A/C system. The POA valve is a major PITA to get out but hopefully it'll be out and the last flushing will be done Sat or Sun then put it all back together, then the valve covers can go back on.

I'll keep ya posted.
