If you coat your housing, making you wait another 4 weeks, for superficial reasons...I'll slap you G.
I know the early 6258 had problems do maybe the newer units have been revised.
An even simpler answer is the black tags were 1 cent cheaper or they ran out of blue!

Of all the things I did to my car sending all my bolts to get zinc coated was by far the best thing I did.
Nothing makes your car look better, and easier to work on then clean bolts.
If I ever find the time to go to a salvage yard that has a Miata I. Gonna strip it of all its bolts and zinc plate them for spares.

Shhhh. We talk him into getting a spare for every single part. Then, after he's polished/refurbished/painted everything, we sneak in and get the parts for assembling a brand new car.

I want to powdercoat an entire chassis after seeing how bad non-oem paint quality is unless you spend close to 8k for a legit paint job.
I just threw away like 4 boxes of just random *** parts that I have no energy to sell/wouldn't make enough to sell.
Still have 2 boxes of brand new fresh powdercoated stuff I never ended up putting back on bcsracecar.
I still need to throw a bunch of **** out that isn't worth selling. Too much crap has accumulated that has sat there since day 1.

Getting my valve cover powder coated made me really want a home powder coating setup. It is unbelievable better than paint. I would love to be able to powder coat any little bracket I make or whatnot.
