Carbon parts (post suggestions)
dudes there is a guy on hybrids(Vintage-Tech-z) who makes carbon parts. His dash is only 270 bux and tailight panels and zg flares run 180. 1300 for a hood is rediculous when you can already get em for 750

The track didnt set the race support up right and now that driver(top jap driver cant remember his name) is horribly disfigured and cant drive.

Powder Coated 240Z Suspension Finished
we had a molten salt stripper for a long time but due to powdercoating getting so big we didnt have enough time to court business for stripping. And theres a new company on the market that sells hooks for insanely cheap(EPSI) and we can buy like 2500 hooks for a round 20 buck, way cheaper than any stripping we have done.

Powder Coated 240Z Suspension Finished
I have a panel in my office that is bent in 2 90degree angles and has no visual wear to the paint. Because powder is urathane base(mostly) it is extremely flexible.

Powder Coated 240Z Suspension Finished
looks like they used some kindof custom paint(or very small paint suppliers paint), thats like no "river" or "wrinkle" text that ive ever used. Looks like it mught be cardinal hammertone black. not a bad finish, that chemical bake looks intersting. Im gonna look into it, see what its about,

Powder Coated 240Z Suspension Finished
so, is it a dip in a vat, or is the metal sprayed and then cooked? we have several different types of chemical treatments we use in my shop. We have a high pressure chemical steam wand that sprays asuper heated mix of phosphate and detergent onto a part, and we also have a large heated dipping tank of a slightly different phosphate-detergent mix. when we dip the metals come out in a rainbow of differnet colors. But a gold-brown is mor common. I wonder if this fellow is dipping and then cooking the parts prior to rinse or after? im interested in his process(seems way to time consuming but further inspection of the coating should determine that.

Powder Coated 240Z Suspension Finished
Chemical baked? that must be fairly new or rarely used cause ive never headr of it. id liek to see some close up pics of the quality of the texture if its possible. Getting textured finishs perfectly even is an art in itsself.

Powder Coated 240Z Suspension Finished
its roughly ten times more durable then paint. It bonds with the metal on a molecular level(if prepped and shot properly, this is what i have always been told) so if the metal is prepped right there is no chance of rust ever developing.

its just as easy as paint if you use a lil spray lube on the bit for insurance(im a powdercoater) how much did he charge you for that lot of parts?
