This is
what we started with. I bought all of these parts on eBay.

This is
what they looked like when Bob was done cleaning,
sandblasting
and powder coating the parts.

Prior to
the sandblasting, Bob strips all grease from the parts.

All of
these parts will be rethreaded where needed, not because of the
powder, but to insure an easy assembly of a used part.

The result
is a durable hard coated surface that is easy to clean.

This will
add a little color to the bottom with the grey and chassis
black.

Nice job above on the inside
surfaces of the rear trailing arms.
Here's some
shots of the parts in process at Cape Cod Powder Coating, Inc.
I think that Bob likes the red more than the grey color.

All of the work is done on
site and under Bob's control.

The entire surface finish is
removed, down to bare metal, prior to coating.

Then the parts are sprayed
and baked for the appropriate curing cylce.

All of the
important areas are masked or plugged prior to coating.

Bearing surfaces of the
spindle above and the threads of the shock
bracket mounting studs are covered prior to being sprayed.

Any area that requires a
pressed bushing is cleaned well and then capped.
The internal threads for studs on the arms below are protected
as well.

Finally, the baking cycle to
cure the powder coating and add the shine.

Sadly, Cape
Cod Powder Coating is no longer in business as of 2016
