Just curious, I understand the crinkle finish BB's are no longer available, but I was lucky enough to get on in the classifieds. Just wondered how many were made? Got to say I love it, feels awesome, and looks great with my Black Jeep!

Really!? I guess that makes this little beauty sitting beside me somewhat rare.
Are to going to be doing the krinkle finish again?
Just wanted to express my interest in a 'future' crinkle BB, I would buy one up in a heartbeat if they came back.It is possible, I may give it another go in the future
Yep, there are a few pics around, hard to tell in them but it looks like a rough powder coat. I just want something different than smooth black or silver, have that already in the rest of my stuff.
the crinkle bb has like a nice rough dull matte finish. it is a powder coat finish. i would love to see that finish on an SB as well.
I agree with that completely! I love my krinkle BB and krinkle PT.
Heck, if Chad would do it, I'd ship my SB back and pay to have it "krinkled"!
heck he could do an after market paint job for peeps. i would love a krinkle green bb and pt to match
That would be difficult. In order to powder coat a unit it has to be taken apart and then just send the shell to powder coat. The heat caused by baking the unit would damage the internal components otherwise.
i am aware. but maybe it could be an after thought when people send them for repair.That would be difficult. In order to powder coat a unit it has to be taken apart and then just send the shell to powder coat. The heat caused by baking the unit would damage the internal components otherwise.
Actually, we don't get enough in for repair to send a batch to the powder coater. The total number returned to date wouldn't even be enough. We can't send one at a time.
Well.... you have that big ole new CNC machine just sitting there in some huge shop with nothing to keep it company except some storage for stock. Lonely. I'll bet that sectioning off an area for powder coating would liven things up a bit. You could turn out the complete product right there in house.
My buddy worked in a powder coating shop, the actual work area was about 1000 square feet and it was over 130°F in there at all times. Granted, they were coating large items like metal gate doors, but I don't know how easy it would be to section off a small area for powder coating. I think the smallest units take up a 20' area and cost at least 15-20 grand.
Dont think that Steve, the machine shop guy, would want to do powder coating. He has enough work as it is. lol
Heh, as soon as he knocks out that first run of OMeGa BBs you can give him a break. He could learn how to do the powdercoating on parts for his car and bike
