Thanks to all for your comments!

I'm putting in an FP white in the next couple weeks...that's what gave me an idea for the theme. Once I get some more serious time away from the newborn, I'll throw everything in collectively.

Just finished the hood vent and strut bar tonight, stand by for pics! Really wanted to "freshen" up the engine bay as it was looking a bit dark and dingy.

Wow. Great job. That just might have motivated me to try out my harbor freight powder coater. Did you just use a oven ?

Yes sir, and I do touch ups with heat lamps and heat guns. NEW UPDATE

Excuse this picture, I was trying out a photo editing app on my phone

The fingerprints you see on the bar are actually dust that settled and I hadn't wiped off prior to taking the pic
No befores...forgot

Before...

After...

And installed...

Thanks all! Have a special bartering deal currently out there for anyone interested in what is technically a free powdercoating for their brembos. I will also post when those are done

maybe a newbie question but, do you have to worry about inside the intercooler piping and intake? like debris? any kind of powder coating get in there or do you block it off?
