Maybe your PDA can't display it, or it takes forever to load?2003Z: What does something like that cost, without the green. Just polished aluminium accents on a black cover with nice clearcoat?

Just polished aluminium accents on a black cover with nice clearcoat?I'm not much into polishing, but if you could polish the accents first, it would run $60. $100 if I polish, plus shipping.

April 19, 200619 yr Author comment_164205 Mike, does the powdercoat cover the inside as well? Any problems with that?for paying customers, I mask everything off so it doesn't get inside. Since this is mine, and its only cosmetic, as its not going to break down or anything, I didn't mask and probably got a little overspray in it. I am going to sand it off of the mating surfaces before install though.

April 19, 200619 yr Author comment_164231 SO if the exterior is beadblasted or dipped to remove the yellowed factory clear, can you simply powdercoat it in clear to approximate the factory finish?Mine never had a clear on it, as far as I know. But yes, you can get it cleared in whatever gloss level you want. Flat, Semi, Satin, High or Mirror. There is even a blasted aluminum powder that can be applied first that looks like freshly blasted aluminum. I think the best would be to polish it, then clear coat, but thats just me. I've never actually seen one in a fresh factory finish.
