Default Powder coated all the cast Al bits

Today I spent most of the day powder coating all the Al bits on my venture except the frame side pan hard mount. It was a learning experience and every piece didn't turn out perfect but it still look pretty good. Here's a pic of the front end now:

I don't know how I missed that, but this looks much better! Do you have a powder coat setup at home?

Yes I do. Check out my scalerfab front bumper I have on my SCX10.2 Bronco. I powder coated that with a textured black.

I'm using the Eastwood kit and an old toaster oven.
