Grey? You should have done it in the color you did that one TPI unit I've seen floating around here, the "Almost Chrome" I think its called? Or maybe Argent Silver....

If I was keeping it I would have done it Almost Chrome for myself or I would have went even Darker like the GunMetal gray one I did befor. But the guy getting this one didnt want to shinny so this is what i did it in.

This is the HSR outside under some sunlight. the little we have so far today

The coating is great...you do some very nice work. The color is not my choice, but I know everyone doesnt want a show finish vehicle. Now for the million dollar question! How much do you charge for all of us who have new stealth rams and want a custom coating? I just got my Headers, valve covers, motor mounts, and serp bracketry back from High Performance Coatings in Okla. City today and I'm thinking the finish on the HSR is going to pale in comparison. Remember, it has to beat the cost of shipping it to Ohio hehe. :hail:
edit: Oh, by the way, --all the parts mentioned above only cost me $290 to coat! The headers were done inside and out as were the rest of the parts!

Hey, JMatlock88

Glad to see ya finally got your stuff to make your dyno runs on time.

As for coating HSRs it was fairly easy to do not as much prep as a tpi. So price will be less of corse. Price will differ on color.

As for the 290 you paid Id say thats a Good deal. adding Everything Up I can up to more. but Im nogotable.
HSR in Basic Colors Black,regular silver,red,etc. $75
Valve Covers 20
Serp. Setup $30
motor Mounts $10
Headers, in a HiTemp Coating $150

Anything done in ALMOST CHROME or a Translucent at $25bucks. these cost me a little more plus Have to be clearcoated.
