I got a nifty powder coater from harbor freight for about 90 bucks. Got my hands on an oven and the most beatiful looking pieces came out. The only problem is that paint usually comes in 25 and 50 pound cartons and you have to buy the whole carton. You can paint ALOT of stuff though!!

I used jasco on the plenum to remove all the paint on it, I let the jasco stay on overnight. Once all the paint was gone I sprayed it with some phosphoric prep & etch, can get at home depot. Cleaned it off real good, let it dry completely and then I coated it.

You can buy as little as 2oz. of coating from columbia coatings, thats where I get all my powders from. I started with just 2 oz. so far I've coated a wheel, plenum, and gauge bezel and I still have plenty left, I'm going to order about 8 oz. of the satin black from them.

Yes that is the stock air box, I stripped all the paint off of everything, the preping is the hardest part of the job, a good prep job will yield you a great powdercoating job. Yes I did do the fuel rails, the tin and the airbox were stripped using jasco to remove all the old paint. Once I was satisfied with the prep work then I coated everything.

Excellent results!
I like the two tone intake runners. Very nice job! Here are pics of the stuff I did last week: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=...47725&hl=powder One thing I noticed to beware of... the intake plenum acts as a path to ground. So make sure you scrape away the required paths. I know for a fact that fast idle valve is grounded to the block through the intake manifold. That's all I could find on my setup. Just a heads up. |
