Message	Eastwood's 'Powder by the Pound' chrome, per Don Wood (member black300zx) who did my powdercoating. Originally I wanted a powdercoated chrome finish, but I'm much happier with the way it turned out. It's more subtle, and the stainless bolts and other chrome pieces are noticed more against it. Don is great to work with as well, he can send you sample PC'ed soda cans so you can match colors to your paint and vice versa. The Stillen engine brace brackets and coil pack brackets are a gunmetal finish. The only chrome parts I have are the fuel rail, fuse box cover and the hardpipes. The hardpipes and cover came with the car when I bought it. The scheme you described in your original post sounds good, with some friendly amendments :-) I think doing the valve covers (VC) throttle cover (TC) and timing covers (TBC) red would be too much. IMO, I'd try a silver plenum, red VC, black TC (maybe with red or silver letters and/or TT.net stripe) and black or silver TBC. Another option would be a gunmetal or hammertone for the TBC and TC with black vacuum hoses and red VC and a silver/polished/chrome plenum. Just some food for thought :-) "I'm glad I have the MSP mani's." - jschrauwen 22:20:13 06/10/08 "...Downpipes own.
