Hi,
Getting ready to run some panels over to the powder coat folks and I wonder if anyone has a list of panels that they did? I think the only ones that matter are the engine bay ones?

You'll get answers ranging from "none of them" to "all of them". I did all of them. Just depends on what you consider visible. I cared about what the car looked like from underneath, from the wheel wells, etc.
Edit: I think there are a couple of blank off panels on the trunk sides that are not visible from either side if carpeted, so I didn't PC those. Other than that. pretty much every panel is "visible" from at least one side.

I did all of them too. Just remember they fit "different" with powdercoat on them.

One thing...drill/ fit them before they go. Seems obvious, but that mistake has been made more than once.

I did about half. I polished the other half. Engine bay were polished except F panels. Did not coat trunk other than side panels. My plan was to coat things that would get dirt, rocks, etc. but I wanted my engine compartment to have the jewelry factor.
