Member Contributer KevCarver Posted September 18, 2012 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 18, 2012 I was originally going for a magnesium look, however this is much darker. Was thinking about geting another SP2 front and taking my original 5 spoke along with my spare RC51 magnesium clutch cover and trying to match it better. Maybe in the future...

DorsoDoug Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I'm supposed to have my 8 spoke powder coated this week. Gun metal gray. Hope it looks so good. The fender would be "sprung" weight wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer johndb Posted September 18, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 18, 2012 Love that color! The fender would be considered "unsprung mass" since it travels with the wheel (like the front calipers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor2a Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Just saw this thread...looks nice. Who did it for you...the shop on Lee Road or do you have another guy? I have some things to get coated this winter and was seeing who was out there. Did they sand/bead blast it for you too? I was originally going for a magnesium look, however this is much darker.

No, not those guys. I should go check them out some time. I really don't know much about the process, or how to evaluate who does or doesn't do quality work so I went with a shop recommended by WERA803 in Athens. Since then CornerCarver and MiniCarver have also used the same place and we all report very high quality work. The wheels weren't blasted, but they bake the previous coating off. Carver had something blasted, some Two Bro's headers I believe, in preperation for ceramic coating. It's a long drive, and his turn around time isn't great, but he is a super nice guy who does great work and takes plenty of time to explain everything in detail. Plus his prices are really good!

His hours suck too!!! But I live 10 minutes from him so can help with dropping off or picking up during his open hours if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
