Today I finished the lower manifold in black minitex and coated the bolts and fuel rail in black chrome. The pictures don't do it justice. But the black chrome turned out darker than it usually does so the parts look almost gray.

 

Pardon my stupidity, but what exactly do you do to powder coat something.

 

Bling Bling!

 

Spray on the powder with a powder gun that electrically charges the item. Then bake the item @ 400ş for 20 mins (not in your kitchen).








Slowly getting there. Im starting to get carried away with this. Look for alot more parts to get coated in the future.

 

What are those 6 nozzles for?

 

Aesthetics.

 

Pretty cool looking Matt. I personaly lke the all polished look

 

Damn that looks nice. I'd love to powdercoat my upper manifold that same color, but I don't even know how to check my tire inflation, let alone dismantle my manifold.

 

Are you going to put little air filters on those nozzles? Your internal engine parts must be very dirty by now.

 

I just installed that manifold today. I haven't even driven the car yet. Electrical tape does wonders for stopping loud vacuum noises.

Perhaps more will get done tomorrow.

 

What is the average cost to powdercoat sayyyy the upper manifold?

 

Couple-o-questions


How well does it hold up so to speak, like do you have to keep up on it, like polished parts? Polished parts are a pain in the ****.


What are all the different colors that you could powdercoat with?

How much to do something like your intake manifold?

Thats all for now

 

whoa - talk about ballin - looks good

 

Like I told ya earlier, looks nice. Can't wait to see more.

 

Because no one seemed to see this in my previous thread.
Basic price list

 

All you have to do is clean it from time to time if you want the chrome colors to shine. I chose a color called Black Minitex which is a textured coating that goes great on rough surfaces. It isn't supposed to shine and is really a no maintenance coating.

Checkout www.columbiacoatings.com for a list of what they have. And if they don't havea color you want then im sure someone else does. Just do a search and you'll certainly find more.

See above.

 

I know your joking Andy but, if that was true, that would be really sad.



P.S. This new smily is coo ------>>>>>

 

matt i think i know what those nozzles are for bastard lol

 

Hey this isn't the nitrous forum.

 

My manifold seems to be mutating.

 

screw the air box, i want to come over to check this out.

 

very nice

 

Better go quick, it may not last long.

 

Sick, just sick.
