I know from recent experience that powder coating comes out beautiful. However, if the surface is a even as it appears in the photos it might be interesting to just clear coat it, as is. Just a thought....
Could you post a pic of powder coating?

I agree with you GG...It definitely would be a different finish for an Acro...Simple...Only my 2 cents though.

Actually, feel free to discuss the Supraphonic in this thread. :)
That drum is definitely right in line with what I'm thinking. Lots of good ideas and great detailing on it.
It totally exemplifies the resto-mod mentality!
