    Custom rack almost done!!!

    Well I finally got my rack to the point I could test fit it and I have to say I am very happy with the way it turned out. All that is left is to deburr it really well, media blast it and paint it flat black. I was thinking about powder coating it but it will be harder to touch up if it ever needed it. I think I am going to try and find a really tough / durable rattle can paint. I have been reading good things about Hammerite paint so I might give it a try. I am hoping to have it complete in the next week or so and that should be about the same time my Russel Daylong should be finished. Can’t wait!!!!








    And thanks to Wuzard13 for turning me on to the supplier. I owe him a beer for sure!

    Very nice. Well done.

    I see a lot of American know-how and G.I. ingenuity in that one.

    Paint

    MAN O MAN what a great job!!
    Check out brake caliper paint. You can bake it on in you home over, no smell. It's tough & looks good. I did my chrome mufflers several months ago, still lookin' good.

    Thanks for the replies!

    I have used POR in the past with semi good results; never used caliper paint so that is an option for sure.

    Spray on bed liner coating may be durable enough to never need touching up just a thought, and some looks like a matt finish.
