I took all the stuff to a place in Denver,
Premier Coatings.
I guess he just changed his website, it didn't look like that just a few days again. Anyway, he's a good guy. I got everything done for $400.
As for the electroless...I dropped off all the pieces Monday to a place here in C Springs,
Ximpak, but they were going to charge me $190 and they were backed up a couple weeks. There is another place in town that said they could do electroless nickel and they could have it done in 3 days and a lot cheaper, so I picked up the parts from Ximpak and dropped it off at
Finishes Limited today. But as it turns out they can't do electroless nickel in black, so I decided to get the steel oxidized black and the aluminum anodized black. The only problem is the alternator casing and the PS/AC bracket have steel pieces in them that I have to get out before they can be anodized and I'm not sure that's possible. In any case, the oxidizing will cost $60 and the anodizing will be $65, so I'm saving quite a bit of money. I've thought about just getting the aluminum (stuff for anodizing) just powder coated instead though. Zico works at a place here in town that shares a building with a powder coating place that will give him a discount. I still need to get the water pump, pump housing and filler neck all done still anyway. I'd also like to get the PS pump done but I'm not sure there is a way to do it that won't do some damage to it somehow.

Min 100.00$ considering all parts are pre cleaned sand blasted.
That will include allot more than just a timing wheel.
I also offer anodizing to. min is 100.00$
Hope that helps..

Thanks for the offer, but I want to get this stuff done locally. Plus I want all black anyway.
Just out of curiosity though, why is zinc plating the best? I don't know much about all the different options. I did a search on them but there was so much info I just didn't have time to read it all.
