my new chrome tie down cleats

mbouey90 · 02-07-2008, 06:42 PM

My dad owns a powder coat business so I had him coat my tie downs in a color called almost chrome. Just wanted to show you guys a pic. of how good they turned out. It’s hard to believe its a powder coat

i got the truck used so all i got was the tie downs. I might do the front skid plate and tow hooks. I already went crazy with the powder coat on my car now im on to my truck. lol

yea chrome PC does not last long unless you put another color over the top of it. If you add clear it will take away from the chrome effect.

I do know a guy that atualy does "Power Chrome" it's a compleatly different process than reg PC. Its only a little cheaper than the real thing though, and also chips easier than real chrome. I jsut can't justify the cost for something that will have bare metal rubbing against it all the time.

I'd prefer to get mine done in Hard Annodized (HA Type III) Black. But I don't have enough money.

Man if you were in cali, you would be powedercoating wheels, rods, and other stuff for me.

Glad to see you offer your hookup through your dad to everyone else here.

The cleets look good.

Want to try powdercoating the utilitrac rails and see if everything still slides in and fits?

I am going to do the rails next they look dull now. I would love to do the brake calipers, but I don’t know what color I would want and I don’t want to mess with taking them all off and apart. Its addicting, I have powder coated so much on my drag car I have probably just slowed it down with 100 ponds of powder.
