Restoring the TB plate>>> - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

As most of us have seen this..the TB plate pox>>

Some (like I) went with the beautiful replacement plate from Carter but for those who want more of OEM appearance here is an option.

After removing some of the pox the plate looked like this>>

And I sent it to the PowderCoater (Mike is active on the ************* C6 forum and I sent my C6 calipers etc to him and he does GREAT work at an excellent price) and got this back>>

The sheen is spot on but color needs to be a little more grey...close though. Anyway wanted to share this info with you all...

FYI Lingenfelter also sells a spray can of touch-up paint that is supposed to be a good match.
