Received my parts back from powder coat. Powder Coat Plus in Quincy IL they were great to work with did a great job stripping the old and applying new.
I will have them do some additional work in the future. I kinda wish I would have had them apply powder coat to the brackets in my center console prior to assembly. I will need to use paint to prevent breakdown of the adhesive and filler that was applied. I don’t believe it would be a good use of resources and time to disassemble it for a third time. I disassembled it to install the nut plates on the sides.
I had requested they plug the ends to prevent the build up of powder coat on the inside. This resulted in a small buildup on the ends. I am going to try and dress this up the end and if I am not happy I will get back in touch with them and repeat the job this time without plugging the ends. Attached are pictures they did great work!
Tomorrow I will be completing the sale of my C150. A little sad to see it allowed me to build time and complete my commercial certificate but I know it will be going to a good home.
