i like it something different do you plan on powder coating the plenum also?
that is a good idea makes me curious what would look good on a white car??

GTAfanatic

iTrader: (3)

im just going to repolish the plenum as it offsets the polish superchargers. i know it douse not look like it is going to flow now but im working on a Twin Supercharger set up and all the bracketrey is also the same purple.

Looks good man. I might be interested in something like that eventually. Though I live kinda far away. I'll let you know if I want it done.

FL not all that far away, i have people for California sending me parts lol, well if you need it you know where i am i could prob do your runners for $50 shipped you pick the color

Also if you want a test plate done you could send me it and ill powder it so you'll have the color ( i use block off plates from a electric box)

Michael91z28

Really? That's not bad at all. I might wanna do it after I get my paint work done on the body, might be a while. But like you said I can find you. What other stuff might you be able to do? Because it would be cool to have some matching stuff.

They look great not much on purple, still they look sweet.

GTAfanatic,

I am about to powder coat my whole TPI intake system. Going bead blast silver to look somewhat close to stock. How did you mask the runners, did you have to outgass them? Also how did you prep them before coating? Did you clear coat them as well.

Oh, and $50 shipped is a good price. With the work and cost of powder and shipping.

GTAfanatic

i do all the work my self as for the runners all i had to do is tape off the holes so no powder got in them.

i preped the parts by sanding them but i had to remove the paint that was on them first. (Paint striper)

i would not be making that much $$$ for doing them at 50 i would probably raise the price a bit after the first few i got out there. the powder cost anywhere from 30-60 alone but i have some colors in stock i am trying to run down.

pic is of a candy red i have

Very nice job. I have had my intake, TBI unit, injector pod, serpentine brackets, coil bracket, etc all powder coated.

I love the look. I went with gloss black, but I am going to do another manifold for a friend and will have it done in flat black.

I am going to experiment with different colors on some spare injector pods and other accessories.

Nice to see others who appreciate "dressing" up under the hood. Once you powder coat something it will nearly last a life time!

Yeah I am new at powder coating. Have everything just have to get my parts ready and go. Time is not what you have when you have a 10 month old at home. I put her first and lovin it.

Yeah the cost of powder your time and shipping at $50 you wont make much. That is like doing the service for free. I am going to start doing parts on the side.

I do like the idea that it will clean up the engine area. I cant stand how the bear aluminum gets even on the mint collector cars that have been stored.

iv been doing it for a while now (5 years) I chrome plate too but i like to add color and it easy to do that with powder.

GTA...

Do you know of anyone who has a parts tumbler to clean parts? I have a number of injector pods and TBI units that need to be cleaned/polished. Most of the local shops use sand blasting with an aggressive media. They wont bead blast it or use walnut husks, etc. Those tend to be the best for cleaning and polishing aluminum.

You could buy your own parts tumbler from HarborFreight. They cost form $33 to $60.

iTrader: (10)

Never thought of them. I looked online with others and they were $200+.

I will check them out. Thanks so much!

Do the runners have paint from the factory on them? What grit sandpaper do you use for prep?

GTAfanatic

iTrader: (3)

no paint form the factory but a lot of people paint them.

i used 220 grid but the smother the better
