Yeah I think Ryan about covered it. Nothing else really comes to mind.

If you do need some stuff done, and you don't want to do it yourself let me knw. I have a good friend that ownes a powder coating shop. So I can get you in touch with him if you need.

Powder coating works wonders for grill inserts. Thats how I finished the grill on the S10, and it still looked new after 3+ years.

Oh ya...

It doest pay to just do one or two little parts...

If you can do a large batch each time.

Providing you prep it by sandblasting and follow the cure directions you should be fine, dont worry about it.

Cleaning the gun out takes a good 15-20 minutes. Probably longer your first time...

Basicly it needs to be tore down to get ALL the powder out of it...

The powder is ultra fine... When you spray it will fog and drift away in the wind, so wear a dust mask.

The electrode in the gun will maintain some attraction. So you unscrew the front and remove a cone. THen need to blow out the inside of the tube. Also the holder/hopper...

You will see when you get into it ;)
