    The other day my friend I work with told me about his uncles powdercoating shop and that the building he rents for his shop, the next shop over in the same building was for rent so me and my friend got it. Its narrow but long, you can fit in 3 cars or trucks length wise. There are no lifts YET but we will get one sooner or later, right now were working on getting some tools.. this is mainly for our personal use, my trucks and his ls2 powered impala but we want to do side work for friends and stuff but just enough to pay our rent... the shop does have air though and plenty of it...


    Also I get great deals on powder coating now so I will be powdercoating valve covers and selling them really cheap for you guys, also if you want anything powder coated you can ship it to me and I will have it powder coated very cheap. Just wondering what do you think are some good parts to have powder coated on these trucks ? Im powdercoating my motor, trans, axle, and pretty much all the suspension really soon, but what else would you guys want done ? Im not trying to make a ton of money on this, the only thing I can see making this expensive is the shipping... some parts I can use my stock ones and charge a core till I receive yours..

    also we do ceramic coating so if you want your headers done its worth it, it cuts down temp about 1/2 then it would be without it
