Powdercoated Intake
People had asked if I can get Plenums PCd in the past, used a PC guy to do a Silver Sparkle at a customers request....pics vs stock Plenum
The color isn't really done justice in the pics its lighter than stock some sparkle but not overblinged...has a dark tone at some angles...    Coolant tube on top of new stock plenum for contrast:

Re: Powdercoated Intake
Powder coating is the only way to go, IMO. I have a friend that owns a PC shop and does all of my PC for restorations. Paint is simply a thing of the past for me.
You can't use clear PC on an intake though. It will turn yelow, eventually, from what I have experienced.

Re: Powdercoated Intake
I like that it is subtle, but it is distinct!

Re: Powdercoated Intake
I could do it for less than the $350....I did the first one for super cheap, basically I did the prep work gratis, and the customer was only charged for the actual coating and baking.
I was thinking $300 for it all So I can port an intake and PC for $1K + shipping

Re: Powdercoated Intake
My guy has a contract with Lokar to do shifters, so he's pretty good and dirt cheap....he did a few sets of wheels for me, at first I thought he was "ok" then I came to realize that I wasn't paying him to prep just blast and PC, so once I started doing my own prep the product is great.....and for the price a steal
