Another shot of the Silver Vein
This view shows a little more surface area of the color and texture of the Silver Vein powder. I shot a clear powder over the color for a little more durability.

Larger piece powder coated
I just couldn't resist from doing a larger part so I used the Silver Vein powder on my cowl grille. I shot a heavier clear coat on it since it will be in direct sunlight. It turned out so good that it looks like it's still wet!

A closer shot of the cowl grille
I'm really happy with how this grille turned out. This Silver Vein and the Satin Black will have a nice contrast against the original Butterscotch Gold body color.

Blasting some more parts
Now that the hood latches are done I can bead blast them along with some other parts that are waiting to be blasted and powder coated.

Lots of stuff to be blasted
I have a good amount of parts that are waiting to be powder coated once I finish with blasting all these parts. Some of the parts include my headlight rings, engine pulleys, tailgate hinge mounts, and a bunch of hardware. I'm going to attempt to zinc plate my hardware so we'll see how that goes!

Finished cooking!
Another powder coated batch of small parts complete.

Hood latch bracket coated
The black satin powder matches the OEM JK hood latch pretty well

Tailgate hinges coated
These had some rust on them but they blasted pretty clean and coated nicely.

Door locks still function
The door locks came out good and still function fine, I was a little worried about their condition after being cooked at 400 degrees for 20 minutes!

Engine pulleys cleaned and ready
The power steering pump pulley blasted and ready for powder.
04-JUN-2013
Water pump pulley ready
The pulleys weren't in too bad a shape but I wanted them all the same.

Pulleys going in oven
I decided to go with the satin black on the pulleys instead of the silver vein, they turned out nice.
