Powder Coat on a jet

[Ranz1]

How well does powder coating on a jet hold up? I heard that that its no good to strip the hardened surface on the aluminum eek! when they sand blast before powder coat? Whats that about? What about Jet-Hot( Jet hot site (http://www.jet-hot.com/) )? Got some pics? Anthony

Thanks Jake :D jake i will see is i can find any other pics of it . if not ill take some. as for the blue it is transparent and should be used on polished or cromwed parts ( i have used a powder undernieth it called almost crome and it turns out pretty damn good, my motor plates are done up that way)

painting looks just like powdercoat but a turdload cheaper and besides, whoever has their pump powdercoated needs to inform the knucklehead behind the counter that the tape covering all of the areas with holes or clearences needs to do w/out powdercoating!! i know of a few peops that have had this happen to them incl. me!!! removing powdercoating from threading is a "BIATCH" just my "BUCK-O-FIVE"

Mike Is this a current pic, are you starting to fix the pump now, you must be going to Dave's B-day party and are planning to take the boat. Why would you start working on it so early.
