I did.....gloss black.

Can't really tell you much about what was used other than Mike/The Powdercoater in GA did it.

Very nice guy, former Z owner, and Z event supporter. It was a no-brainer for me.

I suck at taking pics BTW.....

His gloss black is very nice, that is what I had him do my brake calipers with. You won't be dissapointed with his work.

Looks good. You should have him powdercoat the strut bar. It would look good matching the plenum.

Mike does all the powdercoating on my car as well. He is very particular and will not send anything out unless it is high quality.

Will APS offer better gains than Crawford? I'm considering Crawford because it doesn't have that giant logo on it.

Mike is awsome, he powder coated my 350z wheels, my upper and lower plenum. He has done a ton of brakes and engine parts.

You need to do this, get it POLISHED, and then powdercoated. Let me dig up some samples...

Okay, found some pics from a local member who got his plenum polished and powdercoated.








This is just a chop, but I have a guy that can do this, polished/powdercoated/and the aps logo colored differently.... I personally think Blue would look better on your car.

Damnnnn SICK!!!

Do you guys mind telling me how much Mike charged to powedercoat the plenum ?

I'm opt'n for gloss black and taping the letter off. But damn Synth now you have me thinking otherwise after seeing that pic.
