Title: High Temp Paint.. Where can and cant use it?
Post by: Alex T on August 17, 2007, 11:34:07 PM
I\'m thinking of doing a few things in my bay. can anyone tell me, I\'m looking into doing the plenum cover? Would this be ok, or not worth doing as it wil just fade immediately?

Anything else people think i can paint.
doing things in red btw.

Thanks

Find a local powdercoater and srtip the bits off, they will mask and powdercoat to any colour you want. Non standard colours will cost more because they have to buy a box of powder thats astandard size. Although if you doing alot of stuff in the same colour then thats great. They will have a standard red in stock anyway.

cool. Cheers guys! I think I\'ll do that while my engine is out.
Any suggestions to what things I could get powder-coated?

Anything metallic really. They cook parts at about 250deg for a while so if it needs to withstand it.

They can do wheels but its done with lower temperature powder to stop the wheels being tempered by the oven process. A drop forged wheel may fail after being normal temp powder coated.
