Powdercoating in Farmington area?

[alone_and_insane]

Trying to decide if I'm going to paint my intake manifold or get it powdercoated. Can anybody recommend any powdercoating places in the Farmington Hills area so I can get an estimate? Thanks

Just called him and he said he would honor the prices if I get the parts to him next week. Valve covers, intake manifold, and throttle body all for $120

Definitely the way to go. What color?

[alone_and_insane]

I'm thinking black for the intake manifold, silver for the throttle body...not positive on the valve covers yet. Suggestions?

Right place, right time. Way to go.

so I just heard from the guy today, he can't take apart the throttle body to powdercoat it. What should I get coated instead? I'm thinking alternator...

Powdercoating the alternator holds heat in - you don't want that to be hot.

Since when?? I know a lot of people with p/c alternators never had an over heating issue

I'm assuming powdercoating holds in heat just as much as chrome plating does and it's a well known fact that chrome plating an alternator will (over the long term) shorten the life of the alternator due to heat.

hmm, good call...maybe the CAI?
