|
|
While the car is down, I decided i'd clean up and re-powder coat the punch amp. It was severely corroded. So bad that even after sand blasting, acid etching and pre-baking it still bubbled the coating. Looks much better though. I also repaired a bad transistor in an old Patriot 400watt amp I had. Coated it as well. Going to put both of them back in the formy.
The color is a translucent blue with heavy metallic and pearl, shot over a silver base. I like the look even better without the flash. Didn't realize how much of the powder was floating around, my hair and face were totally glittered with the metallic. |

Havent thought of anything else to do that color. I have lots of black chrome powder on my car though. And the car itself is a dark blue pearl metallic.
I'm slowly accumulating colors too. I now have silver, black chrome, blue, mirror red, chevy orange, chassis black, and clear. |
