The coating cost me $250 the guy does it on the side but it was well worth it and he guaranteed it not to flake or discolor for life. Im guessing the motor will be in by summer but its hard to say because my income fluctuates so much and i dont work much as it is because of school. I wish i could do the paint/bodywork first but i guess it would be good to do a test fit before i do the paint so i dont risk damaging anything. So it should be running but probably same exterior and wheels.
WoW! WoW! WoW!

holy crap, i think i just wet myself

My Accord
That's the shinyest heat coating I've ever seen.
Setup looks great!
The GSX was killed, I need something new...
Powder coatings are nice and durable the only bad thing is you need some decent supplies to do them (Oven, Powdercoating gun, powder, sandblaster, compressor and some misc supplies). Here are some more pictures i just did my other B20A valve cover and it came out perfect other than i would have liked a nicer blue but its going on my other B20A which someday will be in my daily driver.
Im working on rebuilding my Sei rear brake conversion im still working on the trailing arm assmeblies cause the sandblasting is taking a lot of time. But i can rebuild the rear calipers now that they are coated and baked.

White brake calipers ............ Hmmmmmmm I dunno man. Let's see how long they stay white. Unless, you don't use the brakes
PS: Make sure you take all the pix before driving the car, because with all that white bro, it will look like crap in less than a month hehehehehe.

I have the front ones white now and they do get dirty if you dont clean them. The only reason i did white is cause the car is still red and if any color i would probably do red or blue when the body of the car is white. The finish is very very smooth so you can just wipe it off with a cloth. Im going to change it eventually cause the front calipers are getting upgraded this spring to either Wilwoods or Porsche calipers and i will leave them as is whatever color they have. And i figured if i did a big brake upgrade on the rear that i would have to do calipers cause these are to tiny. I will use them for a little while cause the Wilwood calipers are not cheap. I just wanted to coat them so they dont rust out cause they were pretty bad when me and steve got them from the junk yard.
so rob, are you powder coating them yourself in your oven or having them sent out?
Yeah i have a Hot Coat system rather cheap set up about $120 or so and i have a commercial lab oven thats a decent size. The actual coating process is simple but you need a oven to bake it in but you cant use a household oven because of health reasons. And the worst part of it is sandblasting the part cause it has to be very clean metal to have the powder cling to it. I have a decent setup small sandblasting cabinet, fair size oven, compressor, and the hot coat system. I bought it cause i knew i had a lot of stuff to paint and this method is pretty durable and very easy to clean. Oh and you need a good respirator because of the dust and i sand blast with aluminum oxide so you got to be safe.
All and all i would like doing it if i had a nice large sandblasting cabinet and a real good compressor that put out a good constant pressure. But for what i need it works and is cheap.
Once again.....Good work Rob.
I might have to drive up to one of those meets just to check out your cars up there :cool2:
I hoping to come down there in march to the show in daytona. The crapy part is my spring break ends the weekend before but im thinking of flying down just for the weekend. I really want to go to florida i have never been so im trying to make it happen. If i can make it i was going to see if a bunch of you guys would go but i dont know how far it is from where you guys live.
Ive been trying to amke it lower georgia for a familty reunion for about 10 years now and still havent managed. Id love to go this year but I doubt the engines will be done by march.
If you come down let me know and we can meet up. If you can drive your car even better
Your talking about the tuner bash in Daytona right? Cause if so I'm pretty sure Jared is always down for a meet and the rest of the Miami guys might show. Might con Vinny into going too.
Yeah thats the show i can say for sure i wont be driving down because its only for the weekend to bad it didnt fall the weekend prior because i would have loved to spend a week down there. I will keep you guys posted cause im going to look into getting a plane ticket soon so it will be cheap.
shit dude, that is soooo clean!
I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.
Damn Rob where the hell have I been.
Ok, so at least there will be 3 insane 3G's in CT come summer time.
You = B20 Turbo
Steve = frankenstein B18
Johnny = A20A3 Turbo
..and then there's my project that I'm not sure will ever get done. If so, then there will be a 4th insane one, but for now it's just a bone-stock rusted out hatch.
Nice Rob, I'll have to stop down and take a look at this pristine project you've got going here.
-Mark D.
really Mark, where the hell have you been? i haven't been around much but i think i've seen you around even less. i'll try adn keep up with this and maybe be in CT myself this summer.
-Grant. I'm just a pirate chasing booty.
