After asking the local North Texas Cobra club for recommendations for a powder coating company, I decided on Quality Powder Coating over in Carrolton. As it happens they powder coat all of Lone Stars chassis’s and so have some experience with Cobras. The first panels came in cheaper than expected (Quality Powder Coating charge $1.35 per square foot, remember to count both sides) with a 4 day turn around.Started installing the panels, and decided on GE Silicone II Window & Door as a waterproof and bonding sealant between the panels and the frame. This product has great heat and freeze characteristics plus you can get it in a number of colors, black being my choice on this build.
Quick tip, Silicone had a shelf life when in the tube, always check the expiration date on the tube, old silicone may never dry!
Had already purchased black pot rivets off eBay.
Although I only got a few panels installed today I really like the results.
Fraser, those black powder coated panels look great! Quality Powder Coating does good work.
