Update on this.

So Kevin@Cobb found my battery terminal cover! I'll be picking it up tomorrow at their 1st Thursday meet. Hopefully if the weather permits, I'll take a better picture with my camera instead of my phone.


As for the powdercoating, Kracka dropped off his o2/dp yesterday for the ceramic coating and I asked him to take a look at the blues if he had time. He told me that the guy has a REALLY nice candy blue that would probably match my car close to perfectly. Otherwise, the guy can color match it pretty good given a couple samples. So I have high hopes of finding the perfect color for my piping! It's a shame that it'll be another couple weeks before I take my piping apart. I kind of want to enjoy the car for a while before I rip it apart. However, I'm a pretty patient person so it is ALL GOOD.

The shop is a total shithole, but the guy really knew his stuff. We talked about all the different exhaust coatings available and I settled on the one that that is the same/similar to the silver coating Buschur uses on his exhaust manifolds and o2 housings. It held up ultra well on my IX so I figured I'd go with it again; plus he said it has the best thermal properties of them all and it's so durable you can hit it with metal polish.

LOL yup! Powdercoating, ceramic coatings, dry lubricant coatings, etc. It's in what appears to be an older part of Arlington. His shop actually looked very similar to Jeff's, expect with coating ovens/booths rather than alignment/tire machines.
