MY 7up VMC 110 Restoration

Wouldn't you have an issue poweder coating parts that need to move or pivot?

Wont be able to powder coat the bottle gate assembly but should be able to do the other parts. I talk to a guy that sells powder. He said it would be no problem to clear powder coat bare metal. We'll see I guess as I'm going to try  my hand at powder coating this weekend.

Powder coating is great, but like Tom Said, dont' powder coat parts that need to fit tightly with one another.. there is too much build up generally and parts won't fit or pivot correctly, like bottle gates.
on the stack you can powder, the faceplate, the shoes, the back support spine.
I usually zinc plate the rest, and usually the back support spine.

Look forward to your progress.

Got the bottle rack done this weekend. Powder coated everything but the gate assembies and stainless side.  Debating if I want to powder coat the shelves. They are a tight fit in the oven. I had previously used a product called "zolatone" on the shelves,liner and door cover so I hate to redo the shelves.The place next door to my work builds firetrucks and they use zolatone on the inside of the boxes. They say its very durable. I kinda like the contrast between all the different parts. The pics make the shelves look white but the are a metal gray with white specks. I added some pics to the album.

Does anyone have a paint code on this darker green that used in newer 7-up restorations?  I tried PMing the original poster but he hasn't gotten back to me.  I'm looking to do a square top Cavalier in either this 7-up green or the old Dr. Pepper green.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
