Default Metal Mikes Powder Coat Handywork

I hate the stock cowbell horn cover. Metal Mike did a nice powdercoating job on mine. The color matches much better in reality than in the pic. I think the bell's translucent chrome vs the metalflake in the tank misrepresents the color matches in the pic.

Thanks Mike!

thanks man....ive been using the craftsman [compressor-less] set up for a while now....works great!
once my oven/spraybooth is finished, i'm probably gonna upgrade...but, for doing this stuff [small parts,rims,etc.] this thing is the t!ts
here's a couple of shots of some other things ive done recently...
1st is a candy translucent blue horn cover that i hit the oem chrome w/ a scotchbrite pad so the "brushed" look shines through the finish

That's good work. Got a link to the Craftsman unit? The compressor less option sounds good right about now. I may have a phunctioning compressor, but I haven't tested it yet.

I got the cheap setup from Harbor freight. My oven is a converted 55 gallon drum.
My sucsess rate is like 75% Recently tried my tank (twice) with lotsa orange peel so I handed to my friend who shoots regular color.
