Gra, I will be able to do powder coating in about 2 weeks (If everything arrives). Taken 3 weeks so far for the powder to come from america But Im finding a UK source as we speak.

I SHOULD be able to have a perfect finish on the Cossie cam cover (Polished parts) as I will be doing it by hand instead of with a lapping machine

If you can wait a few weeks to see how me bro's one turns out, then I will let ya know when its done and PM ya pics

Jay/Gra, no worries lads will Post up and PM pics when all done Im waiting on a new oven as my original one didn't even fit a 15inch wheel Quite pissed as its cost me Ł40 delivery charge and has set me back atleast a week due to receiving and sending back (Being collected Thursday). Then I can order the new oven (Waiting on confirmation of dimensions from the manufacturer) which will take about a week to deliver...

My powder colours (Black, Blue and grey) will be here beginning of next week hopefully. If you let me know which colours you want I will order from the UK and can have it within 48hours (Will sort that after you've seen my bro's one )
