very nice looking. i'm assuming you put your lower switch box cover doohickey back on, right? what was the process to go from chrome to powder coat? chrome is a pita to remove.

Doohickey back in place! Lol I have a very good powder coating guy here in Vermont. I have no idea how he preps but I can tell you I've never had a bad piece from him and his pricing is incredible. You can crank bolts down on his powder job with all the torgue you need and that powder doesn't dimple. Race Metal Smiths in Vermont.

Take the part to a chrome shop and they can strip the chrome. ..can be done with muriatic acid...don't whiff it...or if you have equipment. skills, use abrasives to put 'tooth" on the chrome. ..self etching primer. ..then paint. The quality of the result will depend on the quality of the prep work.

Definitely not for the squeamish or clean freaks. Dirty work.
