And after:
These were done where I work. Glass bead blasted, pre-heated, then coated with a silver which is compatible with out powder coating machine. Preheating was recommended by the machine manufacturer due to the material, magnesium, I think, outgassing under temperature, which would cause a fish-eye effect in the coating. New washers & freshly painted caps & washers finished up the job.

Looks good.
I bought a set off eBay to do the exact same.Picked them up after powder coating and they look great.Got all new gaskets and the rubber inserts.Makes a big difference to an old M60, good work .
Nice but I believe they are Aluminum and it looks like "machine grey" from Eastwood. Also, looks like someone touched the top of the one cover with their finger while it was powder or not yet cured.Originally Posted by stargazer_61
Either way, looks pretty good.
I think the fingerprint you are referring to was on them after all was complete. I had taken them up to the marketing office to get them shot under the lights. As far as the manufacturer or the color, I don't know where the powder came from. All I do know is that we buy it by the ton. But you've piqued my curiosity and now I'll ask where it's from. Either way, they look a lot better than they did. Nothing like yours, but I'm happy with them.
