Tikler, how much do you figure it would cost to do Snowflakes like you showed in Post #12? I've got at least 4 to redo. I have a total of 8 but the other 4 can wait or I might possibly sell them.
I'm thinking of using a set on my GTO.

Mark, the titanium color doesn't require polishing. It just looks like a gray metal color. Chris, are you looking for polished and clearcoated or just the aluminum factory finish? Big difference in labor and price.

Finally had s set of these come in. Labor intensive. Gold metalflake, then clearcoated.

Decided to put a 3x2 on my Firebird. So i coated the carb bodies gold, the bases black, all the linkages gold or chrome. Then the intake, valley cover, stat housing, timing cover and water pump, valve covers in a powder blue. Also the steering bracket. All was then clearcoated.

With the coating how did you make out with parts working together? I am assuming you used powder so doesn't it build up making the tolerances change?
Looks like fun.

Everything worked fine. I had a timing issue unrelated to the powder that took some work to straighten out. The HEI wouldn't fit and the vacuum advance on the old points type distributor was frozen.

I would have liked to see the heads done and then see how the center ports held up.

Regular powder wouldn't hold up. Now ceramics, that's would probably work. Only thing is I can't find the actual Pontiac colors in either. The light blue is an RAL color
