I have painted thousands of gallons of paint in my life time, I give up, I am going to have all my "hard parts" powder coated. The bids I have got are hardly more than the cost of the paint!

I just finished building a Factory Five Cobra a couple years ago. I used a powder coating kit from Eastwood to powder coat all of the small components - easy to use and the powder is cheap. I have an old electric range in the garage to cook the powder coated parts.

I will be powder coating parts of the 53 Chevy truck too.

I have that too but the frame is a bit of a different animal.

Yep, the frame will not fit in my 30" electric range

I have thought about making the range bigger to handle items up to 4 foot long.
