Yes. I had a few trips around the block but today was the first one that was more than 5 miles away. Ran great. I just have to retune the SD it seems to compensate for the larger engine.

I'll text you for sure but tomorrow I should have the last wheel out at the end of the day. We got power back late in the afternoon so I can coat it in the AM.
Nothings gone right for me the last few weeks with powder coating. Our coating system broke at the worst time leaving me with weeks of OEM work backlogged. I got no side powder coating jobs for months then of course 4 wheel sets come in the same week that the machine shorts out.
I didn't know it was bad until I did a set for a vendor and the finish looked like garbage. The sand blaster, various chemical strippers etc could not take that finish off your wheels in the normal time frame either. I had to go to the brutal stuff to get anywhere with it. I may get out of wheels until I can find someone outside to do the stripping work. Most are a breeze but some of the higher end wheels are an easy 12-14 hour job to strip using the equipment we have.

That's the best stuff and it's what I used on the last 2 wheels. The problem is that I need about 2 gallons to do a set which means I lose money. 1 gallon will strip 3 wheels before it becomes unusable. They gouge the **** out of you on the cost for it too. There's another great stripper I've used but the smell is unbearable and I have to do it completely outdoors with a breathing apparatus. A really good sandblaster and the right blast media is the best bet but I can't convince work to drop a few g's on a new one.
