Of course you ask for something that i havent mastered lol. i have tried mine twice and my buddies twice. for some reason ill prep the shift ball, get it up to temp, and then let it cool down and powder coat it and then put it in to bake and after about a week the ******* thing starts to chip, idk if its because the part holds heat like theres no tomorrow or what. i emailed two companies the other to see what im doing wrong so if i can get it to work right ill let you know. its weird though because all my stuff has been on for 4 months now no chips, my buddies wheels 3 months no chips, ive done other valve covers, charge piping, intakes no issues but for some damn reason i cant do a shift ball lol
