Is there such a thing as clear powder coating ? Wha have you done to our panels ?
Yes, there is clear powder coating. Actually multiple varieties of clear, e.g. full gloss, semi-gloss, satin, metallic, etc.
I used mainly high-gloss silver metallic on my build, including the frame, all the panels, etc. In this picture, right before the body was installed, you can see the foot boxes, firewall, frame tubes, etc.

That looks awesome I really like what u did. I will be calling my local powder coater in the am. Great looking engine compartment
I went with the same thing as Edwardb and am pleased with the results. I have been using the blue painters tape to cover the surfaces that will be exposed to dropped wrenches,etc during the build.
Nice job with this engine compartment, I'm going to step up my game.
