Thought I'd start a thread on another project. Might be slow progress as time dictates.
I find it easier to put a finish on parts before machining rather than try and mask off the shinny bits at the end.
Paint works fine doing this, we'll see how powder coat works, might chip at the edges?
Gave them a light going over in the sand blast cabinet and coated them, liking the finish the powder coat gives, this is only my second attempt.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
