Warren Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 A couple of sneak peeks at my powdercoated GM 2004R transmission before it goes under the car, never to be seen again (with any luck)... Yes, It's upside down, and yes it's still apart, but not for long. Warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careless Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 im starting to get ideas here. LOL what process did you go through to get it evenly coated? was it bead blasted and polished at all for a smoother surface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003z Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 does the chrome powder have a clearcoat on it, and which powder is it? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 That is just too pretty to be on the underside of the car!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 Like "Candy Apple Red" was a stock production color for a Z, Doc? It's still a ratchet shifted GM 2004R behind an L29.6ET on SDS running a GT35 Blowzilla with 3" stainless exhaust and has Ford taillights...so it's still "semi-hybrid". Just has some nicer looking parts on it, another part of the whole package. Hopefully I'll have a trailer for SEZ this time and won't have to baby it down the track so I can find out what it'll really do and know that I can still get it back home.

Guest Mike Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Awe DOC... now you've gone and done it... put Warren thru' the "blinger wringer":mrgreen: Warren, you've gone over to the "bling" side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruez Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Looks almost like 2 stage Mike... don't you think... The finish looks a little thicker than a single stage chrome.. unless the just did a heavy single stage. Yeah, its too bad it will be hidden...

Guest Mike Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 If you're asking me, I agree. I can't really tell about the chrome but the pan sure looks clear-coated to me. And yes... looks like there's lots of paint on both pieces. It's very nice indeed. If this was mine I'd worry constantly about rock chips:shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003z Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 to me it looks too shiny to be a single stage, or a 2 stage with clear. It looks like 2 stage without a clear coat, so if it is cleared or a single stage, I need to know where to buy that stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I think the main body is "chrome" painted. That stuff is amazingly shiny... like polished aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 OK OK, enuf guessing...I'll spill the beans tomorrow...Maybe! Process and product names and all. BTW, thanks for the kind words. Warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Awe DOC... now you've gone and done it... put Warren thru' the "blinger wringer":mrgreen: :lmao: It looks very nice warren, I'm sure all the cockroaches, crickets, chiggers, lightning bugs, moths, spiders, grasshoppers, ants and snakes along the road will appreciate seeing their reflection when you drive by. Personally, I like it! I'm jealous, but you'd better sleep next to the car so someone doesn't take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 HA, I actually (and I hate to admit it), slept in my van with the car on a trailer...that was the first night I owned it, before I even got it home, way back when it was still a rusted out POS. It stays locked inside my garage now and NEVER leaves my sight when it's not in the garage. Ask BradMan-Q45...on the way back from SEZ last September, we stopped at DQ to get a bite to eat. I had to sit by the window just to keep an eye on it. But I'm not paranoid...hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
