[pyrosnow911]

Hey i got me 22re all fixed and smogged and all that jazz so im fittin to media blast and powder coat it. the powder colors i currently have already are yellow, red , black, chrome, candy apple blue (u put this over the chrome its a transparent), clear, and silver vein. i can get other colors i just havent thought of any good ones. im kinda leaning towards the candy apple blue. but i just wanted to get some opinions! let me know what color you think!!

 What should be done to clean oil from the pores before panting aluminum? Maybe paint stripper or brake cleaner or heat it up a little?
 I vote black, but blue would look cool too though.
