It's a custom in-house formulation of two colors actually, with a clear topcoat.

That one was formulated for aluminum but they have a couple others that might work too. I don't do much on brass.

I'd use a clear ceramic instead of powder. Check out MC5100 for polished metals. Cerakote.com

Leave a note on the door with your number. If they want to talk they'll call you.

I've got a couple nice sets on the shelf now and no one has asked about Mickeys in awhile.

"Thave uhh ta ayeny niennn pathent maidey" Yep, I thounded it out. :rofl:

I see some great and some seriously lame packing efforts at my shop. Most shipping damage happens when parts are shoved into a too-small box to save a couple bucks. Avoiding the "three inches of collapsible material on all sides of the item being shipped" will cancel out any insurance you might...

Great point on the heat factor @J-c-c! Not being a certified welder, your input is excellent. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and teaching me something I didn't know.

I sent a link to this thread to the pirate crew. How cool is this??? Ten bucks in booty for telling them how awesome they are!?!

Not that I know of, but I've never read the fine print ... because there really isn't any to read. Just surf their website for a few minutes and take a tour of the ship. I don't think it even has a gangplank. :steering: All I know is that they've saved my guys an awful lot of money already and...

Count me in. I didn't get the cover of the May 2011 issue of Auto Enthusiast but had a couple pics and an article. Most people who read it thought Billy built my car but I'd already owned it for 12 years when we met. :rofl:
