I picked the panel up feom the powder coaters today and here is the result.
Unfortunately I have scratched it, but maybe it will polish out?

It looks fine, the flash has a habit of bringing out the worst. It is actually a satin finish.
Most of the panel will be hidden behind paddleshift and steering wheel.

Wasn't it going to be anodised? Looking good though (apart from the scratch - DOH!)

As ever, nice work. Looks very neat

I do shift work so there are days where I am able to get on with the car un-interupted.
I decided to get it powder coated because my mate who welded it for me decided to take a soft pad to it.
Polishing it would probably weaken the welded edge.

I just bought some of these stickers on ebay (white letters on clear background).



Where the scratch is, the green light is for low water level (expansion bottle) and the red for low fuel level.
The stickers will be for these, plus some arrows for the indicator switch switch on the bottom right.

Will you have problems tuning as you have a button to play trumpet, drums and triangle?
