Re: PART 2 - Gen 2 Lightning buildup

Tommy, I might take you up on a block-powdercoat. My pan's already gloss black, is there a metallic grey/cast iron powder? PM me.

Eric, you are the "King of Bling"

Looks great!

Oh and that tar stuff is actually a wax based coating, frame companys dip the frames in a vat of liquid wax, then hang dry them.
You might beable to heat it with a heat gun and get it to flow easier, then scrap it off.

Yeah, I knew it was some type of "wax", its nasty stuff.

We actually had a guy on the Lightning Owners Club website from the plant that built the Lightnings in Canada explain to us how/why they use that stuff.
