Inquiring mind (me) dares to ask why did you post this in the Thursday night class area? Did I miss something or ?

Single stage only contrary to the label`s statement of "Safe and effective on all paint finishes" and according to Mike Phillips.

That darn spell-check has a mind of it`s own, or is it it`s user.

Most temperatures for powder coating don`t exceed 400 F. Ceramic coating (not paint coating) can and in many cases exceed that temp. and used primarily on extreme heat related parts .(Exhaust, ect) I just ceramic coated a pair of hood hinges in silver primarily for durability ....and they look cool!

Correct term would be shot peening in the automotive world or at least that`s what us gear heads call it.Used primarily in engine, rear end, ect. parts that were previously forged.The blasting of non-forged steel rims is mostly finished with between 80-120 grit abrasive.Can`t envision the need...

Don`t pocket the $.Install a Gear Vendors Overdrive in the Camaro to make it more street friendly with the 4.11`s and first gear in the 350 and go with a lower stall converter.You can choose the gears that best suits your cam profile.IMHO.

In an effort to get a more defined head count prior to the ordering of the evenings pizza, and should you be so kind Mike, the addition of my name to the list would hold a two fold benefit to the applicant.:buffing::hungry::thankyousign:

Thanks Mike.Much prefer to be on standby than blowby.:buffing:

Happy Birthday and have a shinny day.:buffing:

I also like the TRIZACT bands used with the EXPANDER wheel when used for polishing stainless steel.Cars from the 50`s have lots of stainless trim!
