    Yeah, know what ya mean, Pat.... Got a center section for a 9" that was a spare with big gears as a mock up for the 'maro. Think it was painted with Omni about 10 years ago and it's still shiny..... We've had race car frames powder coated in the past cuz it's durable and a sponsor paid for it.... I sure as heck wouldn't bother with powdercoating if I was going to have to scuff it and BC/CC the parts that show to get the smoothness and shine I want. Would seem a coat or two of hi-build primer and some block sanding would do the same as the powdercoating or am I missing something here???????

    The only thing we have had coated so far are the four 1940 Ford wheels on Dan's 30. They came out nice, considering they are almost 70 years old, and when we had the tires mounted there was no scratching on the edges from the tire machine. We plan to have the rear end, driveshaft, front backing plates, and every bracket that unbolts powdered in black. If we go with the frame too the primary reason is to get into spots that are too tight to maneuver a gun, even a touch up gun. Plus black is a bear to spray, easy to get runs and unevenness.

    Streetwerkz, you may have answered this question, but I don't see it. What filler DO you like?
