Here is the bell as we received it from the customer. Overall in actualy pretty good shape after seeing quite a few years of use.

After blasting the bell with Glass Bead it was looking good and prepped for the powder to be sprayed and cured.

The finished product. I really like the way this finish turned out. At certain angles you can really see the parts shine and with the durability of the Powder Coated finish you can't go wrong for an item that may get a lot of use while being used on the new project.
