Keep in mind any ceramic coating applied by the manufacturer or an independent shop has a warranty. That warranty is AUTOMATICALLY VOIDED by applying header wrap.

Any time it crosses state lines it becomes a federal matter. Most jurisdictions also now have Internet Fraud divisions or task forces. Even little Greenfield (pop. 2198) has one. I used it a few years ago to stop a stalker on here. They referred me to the FBI who visited him at work at Auto Zone.

PayPal fees for international transactions are also higher than domestic ones. Currency conversions are also involved. You were right to be wary.

Oh yeahhhh, since April of 2010. It has about 3,300 fans/followers. The quick launch is @CudaChickPowder. There's an Instagram page too @CudaChick1968. Thanks for asking and telling your friends!!

Same here, pretty much dwindling off since November 4 of 2020. With one job on the bench and nothing behind it, it's grim and the fat lady is in the parking lot warming up her vocal chords. Hard to admit after 17 years ......

"Isn't great" is putting it kindly. I extended mine through the 30th and have still only sold one $100 Gift Certificate. I added ten percent to it.

... as the death knell chimes louder ...

Funny. I can get them 100% off any day of the year ......... :rofl:

I'll add ten percent to the amount of your Phoenix Specialty Coatings Gift Certificate if you type FABO in the comments on the PayPal form! PayPal.me/CudaChick

Ceramic coating for paint jobs is marketed to "last for 200 car washes." Results may vary.

After too many times getting the gas stolen out of the old Ford tractor and lawn mower out behind the shop overnight, we put in motion detector LEDs. It didn't help. So we painted several old 1x6s black, pounded $10 worth of 16-penny nails into them, and laid them out around the perimeter...

Cool effort! Lots of work for sure. It kinda sounds like cheating to me but I'm unfamiliar with stock-appearing classes. For all I know it's encouraged. Keep us posted! I want to see how it turns out.

I hope that was really a six-color job. All silver powders need a clear coat to seal them because there's real metal in the powder which will oxidize over time. They look cool though!

I obviously don't own a machine shop but you guys keeping them busy really warm my heart!!! Thanks to each of you for helping small businesses!

Rest in Peace dear lady! You will be missed.

That makes me happy @Cope! I appreciate your support. Kind of along those lines, it's been awhile since FABO had any contests. I was considering calling out the other Vendors and Forum Sponsors to see if they might want to kick in on a package to help one of you get to Drag Week in safety and...

Attention dragweek builders!!! If you're planning to participate in the 2019 event, get in touch with me! I'm offering up a limited number of powder coating sponsorship opportunities NOW. Message me with your story, your goals, and a few pics of your ride! Show off its current setup...

You're right. I was thinking more of stock ones than aftermarket.

When aluminum is heated to outgas it (which removes impurities and air trapped in the metal) and cure powder, neither process will impact the metal negatively because it doesn't get hot enough or cook that long. I outgas at 500 degrees and most powders cure between 380 and 400. Any metal...

If the job is done well it should last for many years absent curb rash, etc. You're better off making sure your installer doesn't use the 1,600 foot pound air ratchet though.

Just a note here to those with ceramic header coatings: applying header wrap on top of it will VOID any warranty the company may have offered at the time of purchase or coating.

This may have already been mentioned, but header wrap will completely void any manufacturer's warranty if your headers were ceramic coated at the factory.

Not to be Sad Sally here, but you might want to check your local track rules on that powder coated chassis. A lot of sanctioning bodies are not allowing it anymore because it prohibits thorough weld inspections.

Cool idea treblig!!! I'd bet a Bondo spreader might work well for the center area. You could remove 3 of the lug nuts, fold the sandpaper over the edge to where you could hold it with your fingers, position it next to the hub and press it straight down til you get to the other lug. They'd...

Pssttttt Pish, Denny wants to get rid of his polishing and recreate the spun look. It's a car with history.

For what it's worth, I agree with the others who say powder isn't going to be your best option to achieve the old school original look you're going for. If you do end up going with a homespun method like the cool ideas above, they can be preserved. Check out the new Cerakote ceramic clears from...

I'm sorry to read this Denny. I even sent him a Facebook message about you and he seemed eager enough so this is a surprise. From what I've seen, he's as busy as me and worth waiting for.

Power ****, Powder ****, eh whatever. :-D. Thanks for the opportunity to work with you again Rob!! It's always a pleasure. I appreciate you showing off my efforts my friend ... can't wait to hear a run video!

LOL ... :wack:
