Stopped by my powder coat shop today and this is was in the parking lot waiting to be blasted.
Was thinking the same thing about the VIN tag.....hopefully the one doing the blasting already knows to protect it.The color appears to be mauve and when I saw the tag, had a brain fart and didn't take any pics of the car. The car has some surface rust as it looked like it had been stripped but I saw no rust through holes at all. I feel compelled to talk to the shop owner and advise him to protect that vin tag from the blast media.
