                  Powder use..

                  How much powder is required for powder coating a 17' wheel for instance?
                  This kit looks very handy, tempted to order one... but would like some opinion on powder use before I buy something..

                            This may sound strange but has anyone ever thought about powder coating the exterior of the car?

                              Anyone interested in a Group Buy for the same powder coating system that Jeffers got?


                              I wouldn't mind relaying a couple more to people if they like.





                              I'm glad you like it Jeffers! IC + Crossmember fit great btw.




                              Jeffers = one cool dutchy
