The guy asking the question about powder coating (it's been a while so I
can't remember his name) really should be doing a lot more home work. I can
do it (PC) at home for cheap with eastwoods kit, but I sub it out to the pros
that make it look fantastic.
By the way, I pounded on a spring to get it my TR6 this weekend, and it held
up great, no scuffs or marks. So it goes to show you how this stuff really
does hold up...
