Well, I bought a whole TPI setup off a wrecked car and have been cleaning it up in preparation for my TBI to TPI swap. I have th intake plenum and runners all nice now, but the throttle body looks dull and dark compared to everything else(even thought it is clean). What have you guys used to make it look better? I'm lot really into painting it.

 

carb spray and some degreaser will take care of it...if u want a more clean look spend some time with 400 grit sand paper on it!!! Both ways work great!

so just some sandpaper? Should I clear coat it? Has anyone had it powdercoated?

 

send it to www.polishinginc.com and he can make it look really nice!

 

YEA!!! lol but sandpaper wilol do...I would clear it if I was u when ur done...

Jason

 

Im no pro but I dont think using sandpaper will make it look as good as what he can do..

heres a before I sent it to him.

 

and heres an after....

he didnt do the plenum..

 

:hail: :hail: Thats where mines goin...what does he charge?

Jason

 

nm I found the price on his site

 

thanks for the info. I might send it to him if I can't get it to look decent myself.

 

35 bux is well worth it IMO...Thats alot of nocks and crannies to get into.

 

yeah, your right. Has anyone had one powdercated?

 

I dont think you can have it powder coated...theres plastic in it around the throttle linkage. It would melt....but thats just my guess.

 

I had the blades powder coated on mine after I sanded and polished and knifedged the blades.

 

want to bet a Buck?

 

..well there you go...proved me wrong!.......I guess you can do it......what about the plastic around the throttle linkage?...howd you manage that?

 

I was going to paint mine with aluminum colored paint but for 35 bucks I am sending it to him

 

I can't give away ALL my secrets.

 

any contact info?
