Yes its powdercoated, but I dont like it white. The MazdaTrix piece is a nice piece as it ties in the firewall ( and a engine brace as well for hardcore people )



I fix/repaint powdercoat all the time.

do you just paint over the powdercoat ?

Rob x-7

yup, makes for good primer, lol.

Alot of boat parts come powdercoated, and when then get scratched

or start to oxidize and blister I paint them.

One of the dealers we do warranty work for sold boats that had a purple

mettalic powdercoated swimplatform and almost everyone of them would come in scratched needing to be repaired. Taking them on and off the boat is a task in itself let alone getting it powdercoated again. The Imron paint holds up as good as powdercoating and at least it can be repaired.

that's cool, I should learn more about finishing stuff, painting and body work type things... I need to buy a house already so I can have enough space for tools and such.

considering your attention to detail, you would enjoy the challenge.



Kick in the *** about me buying the house is the garage is too small, but thats next years plan to expand it First comes the livingroom and kitchen.

I posted this to another thread but I will repeat it here just in case you missed it. I finished installing the Strut tower brace. It was a son of a bitch to get attached to the firewall because of all my stock oil lines and air conditioning lines in the way but I finally did it. Helped to swear alot and the fact that I didn't mind my knuckles bleeding.



The engine seems more responsive because the brace is also attached to the water pump bracket and this keeps the engine steady when revving. This was very noticeable. I have not had a chance to drive it yet with the brace in place because I still have to put in the Bonez Superflo converter system and get it inspected.
