powder coating turbo compressor housing

What are peoples thoughts on this subject? I've read that it'll hold heat in the compressor housing due to not letting the aluminum dissipate the heat which does make sene, at least as a possibility. Other's don't seem to have any concerns over it... what do you all think?

Re: powder coating turbo compressor housing

it will be fine
i would just polish the housing though i think it looks better then powder coat
krylon makes some nice spray paint as well

i start with rustoleum metalic as a base coat (tpi runners are sprayed with this)
