Powder coating colour

[channel27]

Hi all,
I’ve finally managed to get the last of my twin Daytona USA project home and am about to embark on its restoration. It’s by far the rustiest cab I’ve ever owned but its still structurally sound. First things first, all the metal work needs shot blasting (to within an inch of its life) and powder coating. Silly question but what colour do I ask for? Would it be Satin Black?

Many thanks,
Rob

Ruuuuuust!

Fook me, by time you've shot blasted that there won't be anything left to powdercoat so I wouldn't worry about it

I was advised that satin black was the best match to the original finish.
When the bits came back they matched nicely with original parts that didn’t need work.

It’s all surface rust, just lots and lots of it and all over.

Thanks Chris. Satin black it is. Colour matching shouldn’t be a problem though as it’s all getting done

Maybe see if you can get Rudy treated
At the spray place.

Some spray places shot blast the rust off

Costs a bit more but also consider a zinc rich primer before powder coating.
Keeps the rust at bay for longer.

Many thanks guys

I’ll start a restoration thread when it’s underway

Luckily the plastics are really good. A year and a half ago I got these home! The cab itself had been sat under a tarp for 7 years. Longest run up to at restoration ever

For smaller pieces you could always use something like this.
