Unfortunately I B****d up the clear coat - not happy with the finish - but that's why we practice :thumbs:

As you know I was not happy with the plenum and black is boring so after only 2 hours sandblasting :scare: That powder coat is hard to remove!!!

 

We were back to here

I also wanted to try powder coating the dash so I experimented

 

with this

I did a melt test it fails at 130 Degrees :lol:

But I am developing a technique that seems to give good results

 

(this is a broken dash panel)
