ANyone taken apart and powder coated their brake booster

Looking to possibly powder coat a spare brake booster I have sitting around for my 89 TA .... anyone done this ... is there a rebuild kit I should get for when I put it back together?

Any advice and or photos much appreciated!

Re: ANyone taken apart and powder coated their brake booster

I don't know about rebuild kits but, you can use a low cure temp powder instead. The booster is able to handle the underhood temps of a hot engine, exhaust and brake fluid. There's no reason is shouldn't be able to stand a 15-30 minute trip in an oven at 200-300°. Even standard powder will at least flow out and be pretty resiliant at that temp.

I've always just used Duplicolors Trim Black paint. Then again, I've never had the urge to deviate from the chassis/satin black color for the booster either.
