    if you are doing detailed masking, we have special tape at work that can handle the oven heat. i could try to gank a small roll for you guys.

    this isnt where we get it but this is the same stuff


    PS is that a chrome powdercoat?

      the powdercoating gun came with some hi-temp tape, I'll give it a try tomorrow. the most intricate part to mask will be the Ford logo, I think.

      and yeah, that's chrome powdercoat- according to the company, it's the closest thing to chrome plating you can get with powdercoat.

          no lie, I was actually talking to Brandon about offering that as a service for you guys and for other forums- we'll see if that's something we can work out the details on.

              Idk if we have anything that wide, usually the narrow stuff works fine for what we do. I'll check though. To cover bigger areas I've used aluminum foil secured with tape on the edges.

              I'd love to see a sample of that chrome chrome finish. Is the powder any more than normal colors? Who manufactures it? If I gave you one of our sample swatches from work (little rectangle of aluminum) could you coat it for me the next time you use it?

                I think I paid like $18 for a pound of it, it's a little more expensive than the regular colors. I don't think that'd be a problem- we've got a bunch more stuff to powdercoat.

                edit: ****ed up the name, I'll have to check my email to figure out who makes it
