I posted this on FABO and FBBO a couple days ago but don't want to leave you C Body guys out! :D Through November 15, 2021, I will deduct $50.00 off the Labor Total on every intake manifold that arrives at my shop for refinishing! A few examples are shown below. If you have never had an...

Busy week -- sorry for the delay. Cerakote is made by the same company who makes most of my powders too. It's the best on the market and has been around for a long time. (I've been a customer since 1999.) There are several formulations of CeraKote. High temp ceramics for headers and exhaust...

I know a guy who's coated a cinder block before, and have seen tubs done by colleagues too, though never up close -- it's always from a few feet back which can hide too much. What are you hoping to accomplish with it? Are you just looking to change the color on otherwise great-condition tile...

I've never tried. Getting the tiles to hold a ground would be the biggest hurdle.

New Powder ****! This big spread was a good deal of work from metal condition to powder (Before Pic included). I call this hue "Petty Blue on steroids," this time contrasted by a gloss white and a flat black to match his intake. It loves lighting and the transitions are really intense...

Cast iron coats beautifully (all I have on my phone is a pair of flashy custom candy coated calipers but you get the idea). If the job is well done it will last a lifetime. Be sure to clean any spills on the sides and bottom of your master cylinder promptly if you aren't using Dot 5; it won't...

The smallest pieces I've ever done were tiny, a charm and a 2-tone necklace which were both about a 20th of the size of a Bic lighter. Next up from that was a 5-color grille emblem for a patriotic '76 Chevy Vega roughly the size of a matchbook. I'm pretty sure both are pictured on my website...

I placed my order for the PSC 2021 Powder **** Calendars this morning. The proof looks fantastic and I can't wait to see them! I haven't made a list of the customers whose projects appear yet -- I was up til 4 a.m. finishing it lol :wideyed: -- but @Clay Harrison's custom Mopar turquoise layout...

Not doilies, just old lace. Since my industry is dominated by men, I've always tried to be distinctive. The lace backgrounds tie in with a nickname donned many years ago from @rumblefish360 on FABO, the feminine "Powder ****" theme, the high heels, and of course the most popular Customer...

Thank you Kim!! Would you care to say something about how your custom Mickey Thompsons are holding up?

Straight up, the vast majority of my work has traditionally been on engine and brake/suspension parts that aren't subjected to heavy use or left out on the beach for decades enduring salt spray. What I can tell you is that some test panels done for a company called LiquiGuard have been...

I have to guess you share the same opinion as a lot of people who have been "victimized" by commercial powder coating on manufactured pieces rather than had anything professionally powder coated @3175375. So have I, specifically a Harbor Freight welding cart that started peeling a couple months...

If you haven't chosen your powder coater for the teardown season yet, please take a moment to check out some of my work. I specialize in Mopar parts restorations, custom one-offs on most anything metal up to 6'9" including art projects, and pioneered my industry in multi-color powder coating...

I've found that the heavy duty store-brand / generic oven cleaner works better than the name brand Easy-Off. Take the parts off your car. Stand upwind, spray the pieces liberally and let them soak for a few minutes; it will foam up and gradually dispense into a clear liquid. DO NOT let it dry...

It's been a couple years. How is it holding up?

I've had the opportunity to restore two sets of the valve covers and wooooo boy they're a challenge. The sloped design is really cool overall but they're low grade aluminum with lots of casting issues. If I remember right each has 12 different planes so a lot of the clean up has to be done by...

Don't forget to do the same on the intake -- every runner, bolt hole and crevice will hold media. Do NOT stand over it while blowing it out with compressed air to dry it or ya might lose an eye.

Wow Clay, your vision is really coming together now! I feel like I was right there in the garage with you! Thanks for the pics, for your business and confidence, and for your friendship. It's truly an honor in every respect! :thankyou:

I got an email from Keith today, the main host. The station manager wants to "make amends" by running it a few times through the week at her discretion. With two out of three scheduled airings not playing when they were supposed to, I didn't even ask about the dates and am not going to plug it...
