Default First successful powder coating project!

Pics posted before and after. Brake calipers and rotors on Dad's 94 Corvette. The calipers were done using Caswell's PCP56016 Safety Red, and the black centers on the rotors were Caswell's PCP51008 Black Magic. Couldn't have been easier to coat, but took a week of evenings sandblasting the original coating off (epoxy-based caliper paint). Just wanted to say thanks for all the good tips I read on here! Wouldn't have come out half as good without the help.

I just clicked on "Album" at the top of the page, currently they're the first and second pics.. Though the thumbnails look almost black and white, click on them and you'll get the full color versions.
