I'm excited about how awesome all these parts are going to look.
I have had a whole bunch of stuff powder coated and as long as it doesn't start out rust pitted, it comes back looking new. If it's rust pitted, it still looks good, just textured. I've had a great experience getting items done at the place I go in Monroe called Thermo Tech. The owner took me for a tour a while back before I had my FJ40 frame done and it's an amazing opperation.
I litterally showed up and parked, the guys already had a forklift ready to lift the frame out of the back of my truck and another guy was pulling boxes out of my truck and helping carry it inside to count it and see what I wanted masked.
It was also cool because there was a really nice gal there named Shannon who helped pick a white that looks close to Toyota 033. It's not perfect but it's the inner fenders and radiator core support, not important to perfectly color match. It was handy to have someone with a better eye for color than me.
They told me 7 days or so to bust out all of the stuff I brought them. Some of it they have sent to their other location for garnet blasting.
Here's how my 40 looked after they did their magic. Builds - "Scout" the 1977 FJ40 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/scout-the-1977-fj40.1129848/post-14006009
