Powder coating ideas what would you send out
Well I am at it again. Figured since I redid all my susspension and had the sways off I might as well send them out for Powdercoating.
While I was at it, I sent in the hood latches, strikes, and a couple other pieces. The coater said he can get them VERY close to chrome. As crazy as it sounds over the winter I want to replace all my bushings with a Pfadt system so while I have the control arms, etc off guess where they are going. 
Just wondering what you would do?

On my '82 I powdercoated a lot of suspension and engine parts, brackets etc. On my C5 I powdercoated the original polished rims, it looked awesome and was much more durable than having them painted!

Nice- Well my 19/20 wheels are Chrome so that might not be a good idea and take away from the BLING. My 17/18 Drag pack setup is brand new so I will leave those alone. I think chrome upper/lower a-arms, and rear cradle would look bad ***.

I am almost done. I finished all the power mods I want to do for now, and the exterior is complete. Finish my stereo install, add some Carbon fiber, put these powder coated parts back on, and lastly get it over to paint for final fitment of all the new front end parts. I will finish shortly. I can't drive it when I am not happy. At this point I like driving the Altima more.

I would like to get my F/I plumbing completely re-fabricated and powder coated so it would look nice. After all these years its due for an update!
