[QUOTE="Jhollowell, post: 1874701, member: 20013"] Hell yeah man!! I'm always up for practicing on other peoples parts...lol As for the stainless vs aluminum i know we put stainless bushing in aluminum structure on aircraft but maybe they do something to the stainless to treat it so it doesn't react with Al. Either way the company i was going to use requires a business email to have samples made so that's not going to work for me. What i'm going to do is powder coat the body, but mask the retaining ring groove since i don't want to add any thickness in there. Then i'll cerakote the whole thing with clear, including the ring. Then add decals and wrap with 3M clear sheet. The last set of shocks i refinished only had cerakote and they still look great. I sent those shocks out to get rebuilt so i could only coat them with something that didn't require oven cure. I'll take pics and keep you posted on how it goes. [/QUOTE]
