Looks fantastic, Payton. I'm glad it's moving along for you.

How exactly do you power coat an entire car though? I thought the powder needed to be sprayed on a preheated car. I'd think it would take a long time to get the power into all the nooks and crannies which means the car would have cooled off by then.

Well I sold my car and left this hobby behind and strangely enough my lust for super duper performance and race cars has also faded, but I still have subs to some of the build threads and I have to say, its looking really good and almost re-excited the old feelings for a moment.

You should be very happy with sticking with it and putting together such a nicely done machine. This is one I'll continue to check in with because you're doing it right.

Thanks Preston! Always enjoyed your Mustang.

And thanks to the rest of you as well. Been a long time coming for sure. I powder coated entire car, doors and fenders too. It is a race car and did not need a perfect finish, although the power is amazingly very smooth.

FNO powder coating in Concord, NC did the powder. Great people, awesome job. They told me 10 days and it turn into 3 months. I get they have race shops as regular customers, but it was still a painful wait.

They do put it in the oven after sandblasting to bake off grease, etc. But I am not aware of the metal needing to be hot to apply the powder. They spray the powder then put it back in the oven to cook the coating on.
