Hi George
Three years I became a graduate student of the Fred Thomas Institute of
Innovative Coatings, one of Dr. Thomas' requirements is that you must
successfully perform the transformation of a set of rusty, greasy
Girling Brake and clutch Master cylinders, to a like new condition.
This must be accomplished using his formula, which consists of an
application of 007 silver followed by an application of semi-gloss
clear. Depending on the Mass and physical size of the item it should be
baked in an electric oven for approximately twenty minutes, at 400
degrees.
In order to receive your diploma you must demonstrate that your process
lends to consistency and is free of voids.
I received my diploma three years ago upon completion of the above
mentioned, today my Girling Brake and clutch cylinders look like the day
they were taken from the Oven.
NOTE:
You too can be a graduate of the FTIIC, for just three easy
payments of $29.95 you will receive a handsome three ring binder full of
color illustrations and instructions. So enroll now for this offer may
expire soon.
Send payments to- Attn: Debra Thomas at the FTCII, Stafford Va.

Subject: Re: Powder Coating
Fred, I finally finished setting up my oven and powder coating rig,
making some fixtures as your noted indicated, got some black and
aluminum colored powder and am ready to play. My first project is the
valve covers of my Stag.
I'll probably do it today, if I can get the covers cleaned off to my
satisfaction.
I do have one question, have you powder coated any master cylinders?
I've gotten tired of my Stag brake MC getting covered with rust, and
regular paint doesn't last long.
