I know Mike a long time and he has always helped me out over the years with Parts. Now he continues to come up with some new ideas for the hobby. I needed help with some E-Body backing plates which had thick black power coating on them.
We had them stripped and Mike did his magic with the gray phosphate powder coating. They look Great you can't tell they are powder coated but look like they just came from being plated
Thanks Mike
Bob
Looks great :bigthumb:

Looks nice, talented guy! How does one strip off powder coating? Sandblast? I'd guess it would be tough to remove? :notsure:
Mike is a true restoration extraordinaire!!! :yes: :worship:
I was at his shop when Mike was doing those for you Bob, the results are incredible, you have to see them in person to appreciate it.
Those backing plates look awesome, which seems to be the result of whatever Mike Ross touches. He's mastered the powder coating process and colors for quite a few parts for me and others.

Anything of his I've seen looks amazing.

That's bare metal powder coated? Looks like it's painted all together from someone without Mike Ross's skill set.

OMG, you sir are correct and thank you as that is the "before" pic when it was returned to me by an amateur shop. Mike went to work disassembling it and blasting it. Then each piece was powder coated correctly, spring, lever, bracket, etc. Here's some detail and the finished part.
That looks better :bigthumb:
