Lots of wire wheeling/sanding/buffing and some paint/clear coat.

The egr to y-pipe line was cleaned up also,though it didn't stay shiny like the rest of the egr system:gotme: Too much heat i guess.

Hey not bad, I did the exact same thing nearly 2 years ago but only stayed like that for 1 month cuz I didnt apply a clear coat. What do you use for clear coat? I'm gonna do this again!

:bowdown:

Home powdercoater? I have been thinking about getting one for myself,do you use your oven to bake it on?

Matt93SE Aug 21, 2007 06:39 AM

Yeah, it's one of those cheapie $100 Eastwood powder coaters...

I have an old kitchen oven in the garage to bake parts in. big enough for a 16" wheel or an IM, but that's about it. this thing BARELY fit in there (look at the other pics in the directory)
