Hey guys, I did some painting and powder coating on my vette last summer and just now found the time to post some pics for your entertainment. Thanks for looking!

i do it myself. I bought a cheap harbor freight kit and buy powders online. I bought a cheapo house oven for $50 on craigslist and use it in the garage. It works great!

Thanks guys. It cost me only like $15 in powder to do the rotors and calipers. They were my test pieces because i installed my new z06 rotors and calipers like a month later.

agree. really looks great. now tell us: did you powder coat the tips black or is that some kind of other type of color?

Thanks. Yes, i powder coated the exhaust tips with a super high gloss black to match my gloss black z06 wheels. I went away from the typical chromed out vette look.

Thanks again. I really appreciate the compliments. I take my hobby serious, especially when it involves the vette. Ive got tons more mod pics somewhere but can't find the memory card i put them on. I'll have to show you guys later.
Nicely done
These are super!
