    Default powder coating

    I had this one done on my e12 I swapped a 3.5 into. Cost 100 bucks at the most. I added the stripes by hand with model paint. JWID

    For that price, you would be better off hanging it on the wall in your living room as a trophy of some sort

    That's sharp alright. Does the rest of the car look as good as this bit of engine? 8-)

    So they can do a clear glossy powder coat? Who/what should I look for to get this done do you suppose? I assume that I'd first have to polish the aluminum myself before sending it off, right?
