Tech Tips Powdercoating for Profit (and fun) Mustang Project

		Here is the stock oil pan after 35 years of grime. Keep in mind this is AFTER I soaked and sprayed degreaser.
		A trip to the sand blast cabinet and we are ready to rock.
		After the oven baking this part looks as new as it can and it is actually BETTER than original.
		On the left you can see the brake assembly in the "before" status. On the right is the same assembly after powder coating the backing plate and installing all new hardware.
		This is the same assembly installed. Powder coating does a tremendous job on brake components resisting dust and moisture and not to mention brake fluid resistance which will melt and remove most paints.

		On the left you see the stock wheel condition and the dramatic difference of the wheel on the right after using the same above methods of restoration.
		The hubcap will cover most of this wheel but I have the comfort of knowing it has been blasted and coated on the front, back as well as the inside rim. This area is important as this is where the moisture accumulates. Note even the new grease cap has been coated.
