Default Re: Orig parts finish quality

the dipping of parts in paint really does work. it takes a bit of experimenting to get the paint the right thickness so it doesnt run off or glob up if its too thick. if you come across parts that still have the factory black paint look close, you'll see small runs, drips, bubbles etc..another mistake i made was restoring my brake booster..i blasted it with glass bead then had it plated locally. the plate doesnt cover the rough texture of blasting. it looks ok, almost if it is a few years old, but probably would look better if i had sent it to one of the guys that specilizes in restoring boosters.
