Ooooooooooo... Powder coating! I hadn't thought of that.

Tell us more!

 

Ya know, now that I hold it up against the car.... even if it's exactly the same as the door handles it's just too much bling for me.

A satin black power coat with SS bolt heads is sounding better. I thought about matching the cars PPW but it wouldn't have to be too far off to look wrong.

 

Ken350Z,

Hey, you really may be onto something here! Satin black on PPW would be the exact opposite of 'bling'... very 'businesslike' and unique.

So, does anybody know if you can powdercoat over chrome?

How about over [raw] aluminum?

 

I don't know much about it but will find out. I think it's can be painted on AL or chrome without a problem. It's just paint that is applied as powder and baked.

Powercoating should work fine, also I am looking into CF wrapping it, like the Varis one. BTW, I purchased the used one from Henry in SF, so the savings will go toward CF materials.

 

Are those still special items or does anyone carry those now for immediate delivery now, Thanks.

 

double ditto -- the price is right if you ask me.
where do i sign up?

 

I've sent SluggoZ a sample to see how it matches the handles, now that I don't have a Z anymore. I can do satin black too.

 

I hope the sample arrives tomorrow!!!

 

What about an '03?
These list '04 and '05.

 

I would think that the gas door would fit an '03. Call John over at autoaccessories.....1-888-326-0054 to be certain.

 

2003z - How much would powercoating this cap be? Esp. to match the door handles.

 

subscribing.....

 

The color sample I received today needs to be toned down.....will have another next week.

 

sweet! im going to go ahead and order one of these from spoilers direct, once you guys figure it out let me know how $ its going to be to get it to match the door handles!

 

Got mine. Nicely made item. Will test fit but not mount as I can't handle the chrome.

 

Does yout door close evenly or need to be bent a little?

Ken

 

Will test fit tomorrow. Spent 7 hours today putting on the front springs. Major job without power tools.

 

... I think it makes the 350Z look like an Eclipse ;( well if thats what you guys like hehe.

 

Not all things float all boats, that's why there are so many aftermarket products, each person likes one thing, and not another. I have seen this type of gas cap cover on many vehicles, trucks, rustangs, Audi TTs, etc. For the most part, it looks nice on all of them. What I don't like is the plastic cover that we have now.
