Ha, It does seem our cars are going to look pretty damn close! I was going to powder coat the end tanks on my intercooler black as well, but decided that would be a project to do later on.
I actually read your post pertaining to the wheel during the time it was being powder coated. Like you, my concern was how the triggers were going to pick up the wheel. But since parts are being recoated, that original (or in my case realllllllly tarnished/ non existent) green coating are being sandblasted off, I don't know if matters much. I read in your thread a couple of guys either painting or powder coating the wheel and then sanding on the back side a little with no problems what so ever. I was told by our powder coater that the thickness of the coat is 001" thick. But I'll probably just sand the back to be safe too.
I would like to know if the wheel is magnetic or not. My thought that it isn't, but i've been wrong before.

nice build! id be careful with powder coating the cap... putting it in the oven might mess up the rubber seal and cause leaking...

I inquired about the same thing, but I was assured this was a non issue. He has done this many times and tested it on his Lotus with no problems. Our local powder coater is phenominal, so good in fact he can powder wood and plastic haha. Seriously
