Powdercoated Battery Box Components
I painted the battery box and mounting angles a couple of days ago. The paint on the box came out fine, but it bubbled up on the angles. These were previously powdercoated, but I sanded and cleaned them before painting, but apparently something went wrong. I considered stripping the paint off and trying again, but I had been looking for an excuse to buy a powdercoating system anyway, so this was as good of an excuse as any. I stopped by Harbor Freight this morning and picked up their system as well as a few colors of powder. After stripping the paint and old powdercoat, I re-powdercoated these and baked them in a cheap little toaster oven I picked up at Target. These turned out fantastic. I really wish I had bought this earlier so that I could have powdercoated the tailwheel spring mount.

Here's the finished box with the side angles riveted on.
