I want to fresh up my engine bay a bit with powder coated parts, but still have some questions. I want to powder coat my intake plenum (not sure if only the upper or lower too, maybe some input here would be cool) and the cam gear covers. is there anything special to look for??
since the engine is in the car at the moment, is it easy to remove those covers? they should come right off....right?!?!

 

Powder coating is great.Its durable,and expensive.
Depending on your budget you may want to consider doing
a wrinkle finish(black).Ferrari and other supercars have used wrinkle for
years.Its pretty cheap to do.However,can be a bit tricky to apply evenly.
You'll need a heat source.

 

thx JCITY, yeah i know powder coating is pretty expensive, but let us say for my lady only the best (not that i have to money right now!!!!). IMO it should be totally worth the extra money.

 

Jan,

Front timing cover isn't coming off unless you take all the pulleys off, pretty much everything in the front. I just did mine and it was a PITA. Could it be done in the car? Maybe, however taking off the front bumper, core support and everything to give you more room would be the better option.

 

PC is not expensive here in SC. Friend got all 4 wheels done in black for $189.00 look great and holding up also

 

Hey James,


i was just referring to the two smaller covers but we already figured this out thx man again btw
