Thumbs up Powder Coating a 911 Tub.

My friend Richard Pitman, owner of Powder Tech Plus, powder coating a 911 race tub. This is the guy who does all my stuff, from BMX bikes, antiques to my Porsche stuff!!!

Much better internal coverage (in the long, ect) starting with bare metal, so you know in advance where rust already is/was. With powder coating, you get about as close to 100% coverage inside & out as you will get, that to the Pos(powder) & Neg (tub) chages.

FRom closer to the start.

Very nice, I can really tell that you love your work, you have some sick posts. Not to be a sychophant, but your posts are always entertaining with plenty of detailed pictures.

Nicely done,

DGF

Thanks, but Porsches & cars are my hobby. I have to work a real job to pay for the toys, believe it or not, I'm a talent agent
