Dammit, if I didn't like my flamed ones so much I'd be on these like me on a cold PBR.

I really like them! Do you think there is a way to have the powdercoated and the fins and lettering polished? Great product!:beer:

The fins come out with some nice luster after coating because they get coated then its gets sanded off. I"m hoping Blackened300A chimes in he's got a set of powder coated ones maybe he can take some nice pics that show them off properly.

That would be nice to see them, hopefully he will post some up!:beer: I could always polish the fins myself but I was trying to avoid the extra work, I think with them polished it would really be a nice match with the Colex caps I have. Looks like I will be making an order soon:lol:

Here's a set I painted & sanded down to 1500 grit. I would get them powder coated if I had to do it over again!
That matched the thumb screws and was as far as I went

Those look good Paul, looks like you got a lil shine out of them too.

I did!
I may try for a little more but I was worried at the time that the paint was a little too soft. Now that it has gone through "some" heat cycles under the hood I think I'll take a shot at some wet paper @ 2000 grit then some jewler's rouge.
