Re: Pictures of our powder coating work!

I spy a LIPP part in the blue there, what is it? Looks like a MAF adapter of some sort?

Re: Pictures of our powder coating work!

How does powder coating hold up to taking lugs off and on, especially using an impact on them?

Re: Pictures of our powder coating work!

Honestly I'm not sure, these are the first few sets of lug nuts we've done so I haven't heard much. Using an impact and basically any metal on metal rubbing is going to wear off any coating over time. What I have heard is that there are plastic lug keys available that would help the longevity of them by eliminating that metal on metal contact.

Re: Pictures of our powder coating work!

I coated some lugnuts black awhile back for my friend Austin. He didn't use an impact, but even with him using hand tools (metal not plastic), it only took a few times of taking them on and off for them to start wearing. I don't think using an impact would be a great idea on them.

Re: Pictures of our powder coating work!

I had some done and they didn't seem to last that long, now they look like crap. But I wonder if using that plastic key Tim was talking about would help.

Post more pics!

Re: Pictures of our powder coating work!

Wow, looks great!

What's your turn around time on a set of wheels? I'm thinking my Evo8 wheels would look a lot better in bronze.

Turn around time is about a week and a half to two weeks right now as it's pretty busy. We'll be finishing up some parts this week in our Stone Bronze so we'll post up those pictures soon!
