Default Won free powdercoating. What to powdercoat?

I won $100 worth of powdercoating at one of our drag racing clubs meets, and just noticed that it expires at the end of 2009! So I need ideas on what I should use this on. I was actually going to use it towards some stuff for my 4x4, but that wont be ready in time. I thought about pulling the calipers and doing them, but its snowing here, and I dont have a garage. Need ideas quick, I have to have it done within the next week!

What about your intake manifold on your lt1? Or maybe valve covers. If you don't do calipers that's what i'd do.

Pick up some LS1 calipers, get them coated and since they will be taken apart, rebuild them and put them on your TA. The rest of the parts aren't hard to find.

I have a spare set of wheels with my drag radials on them. I may get them powdercoated black, like the set thats currently on the car with my street tires. Or, Im a bit sick of everyone at the track thinking its my boyfriends car, maybe I'll get the rims done pink! lol
