Looks good, just beware not to use a degreaser under there, cause it takes the paint off. Ask me how I know?? Im getting mine powder coated this time around...

duplicolor high heat rattle can someone told me though that if you use the 1500 degree one & not the 500 degree one it comes out flat rather than glossy i use the 500 degree one...that's a good idea on the TB...i might have to do mine RED
