Picked up the remaining red powder coated hardwares last night from the shop.
So, now we have every piece of external metal hardware powder coated {and a couple fusion coated} red --- except the windshield frame, --that's being powder coated semi gloss black.
The first pic is the last few pieces to the red collection.....
The second pic are the pieces previously done.
What's not seen in the pics are two additional stern grab rails and the trim tab plates.
The exhaust tips and the trim tab plates wer actually fusion coated -- the difference between powder coating and fusion coating is a matter of how much heat is used to apply -- fusion coating is more durable but much more expensive than basic powder coating.
Those 36" rails are the ones I made up earlier in the thread, the other pieces seen here are the bow nav lite / the rubrail endcap / the mounting screws for the rails and the lite and the endcap.
Windshied frame should be done powder coating by next Monday, and I am really concerned if I made the right call on that or not {I'll know monday}.
Does anybody know where I can get replacements for the black plastic strips that slide into the windshield frame grooves to cover the mounting screws -- I'll ask Mike at Checkmate when I talk to him again, but maybe someone here in the forum knows of a resource?
On the Plastic strips needed for your windshield. There is a company near Amsterdam, NY. that makes them. I will get the info and pass it on to you. My mind went blank but I'll do research tomorrow. It's a Taylor Made co.
