Next we went to powder coating facility about 2 hours away, and left almost all the parts to be coated. Using three different colors, and ceramic coating on rear bumper. Decided to powder coat everything as it does a much better job of putting a protective layer/coating in hard to reach areas, not accessible by regular paint process, especially the cab. Did this also as the electrolysis process removed all the rust from whole truck, and it has very solid body.

Yes, these wheels are the 15x8 three nubs from early Blazers and CUCVs, the 16x5" originals are in another part of this project, to be done later.

Also, got quart of ceramic black, to do bolts and a few parts with small springs, etc. Much thinner then powder coating film, and does not effect moving parts nearly as much. However needs to be a very controlled process to be durable coating.
