I was watching a show on the speed channel called gearz, and he showed that you could use dupli-color mag wheel paint on carbs.  so I  tried it and it worked.

I got all of this powder coating done for 60.00 and 40.00 for the sand blasting

Holy smokes! that is a great deal, I took a frame, rear fender and hood to an old MTD to the sand blaster near me and he charged $100.00 then he wanted another $100 to powder coat just the frame black  :woo: I said no to the frame and painted my frame with por15 chassis black.

Nice work, nice clean build.

Thank-you Robert,  I just shopped around and told them what I was doing and they shot me a price.  There is a lot of sand blast and powder coating venders around here so I just called around.

wow ... 100 for the sand blasting and 100 for the paint would be considered cheap here. The guy would likely charge you $100/hr here lol. I get my parts chemically dipped to remove the paint and rust, it can cost around $100 or more for a frame and body.
