Where around here can I get a powercoat job done on a engine cover I have? I don't want anything crazy, just a black coat. Thanks for responses.

There is a place that advertises on WNIS (mostly from 3-5PM) that does professional powdercoating along with many types of other coating. I have seen their work and it is flawless. The also have various forms of aluminum coating and things like the ceramic header coating. It is a place worth knowing about. I am sure you could call WNIS radio and get their information. The name just escapes me at the moment.

Actually, I was in the area for a bit around X-mas. I even brought the Mini out to the last Tidewater event (it was the second time I auto-x'ed it). I will be back in the area permanently in April. Although I won't have as much free time since I will be attached to a submarine which means I will be going out to sea from time to time.

Glad to see the CAI business is going well. It seems you have found a means to help offset that expensive engine of yours !!!
