powder coating - versa metal industries

i dismantled the floor tom and bass drum last saturday with the help of the gf. i brought all the lugs, bass claws, hoops and my new bass drum spurs to versa metal industries for powder coating. the old cheap chrome plated thingies will be covered with white powder. this bling will add shinizzle to my maya. i will pick them up next saturday.

meanwhile, i finished sanding the 12" and 13". the two toms have a lot of gaps and cracks so i used plasolux putty to fill them. i just finished the second coat for the 12" this morning. i think i can finish the 13" tonight after i drive the gf tonight to muntinlupa. then i have to sand them again, apply another coat again, sand them again, coat them again....

i haven't started on removing the wraps on the floor tom and bass drum yet but i wish i took some "before" pictures for comparison after this pimping session.

one more thing, i also included the 14x6.5 metal snare shell for blue powder coating. it was the stock snare that came with my maya kit. i stopped using it after the strainer broke down about two years ago and after i got my 14x3.5 fernando piccolo. im having problems looking for a replacement strainer though.
