So the powder coater called me today and said my fender is ready! So much for 3-4 weeks! I was in Santa Clara at Spray Technologies getting my hubs vapor blasted so I didn't make it back to Rohnert Park to get my fender but I'll pick it up in the morning.
So this was my first experience with vapor blasting and I must say I'm really impressed. These things look brand new, except for fifty years worth of dings. Fidel, the owner of Spray Technologies was super cool, gave me a great price and when I offered to pay extra if he could do them right then, he skipped lunch and got them done while I waited. Super stoked to not have to drive all the way there to pick them up, super pleased with how they came out, and now just need the rims and spokes to show up and this bike will be ready to ride. Woot!
