Re: What all to remove on the throttle body for powder coat?
Funny, they just called me this afternoon to come
By and show them exactly what to tape off on the throttle Body, I have it disassembled but there mis part of the side that is exposed I was going to have powder coated. Anyone have any pictures of a taped stripped throttle Body?

Re: What all to remove on the throttle body for powder coat?
To avoid all this and any problems after reassembly, I painted my throttle body
with a contrasting color Hi Temp engine paint (matte black) when I powdercoated my motor. Red cam covers and metallic silver plenum etc. Last edited by Mystic ZR-1; 05-14-2020 at 10:54 AM. |

Thanks, ran out of time, went to the powder coaters this morning, of course, masked off the obvious parts, the are two small veins on the drivers side of the TB and I asked them to powder coat if they could mask around them. Excited to get my stuff back from the coaters tomorrow hopefully!

While we on a similar subject, I am not powder coating the airlines, I don’t want bright polished look, I just want the clean stock looking air lines, any feedback?
