was thinking one color for the black part, and maybe a different color for the powered by ford
No plastic can't be done

I used some on my 2.3L engine cover a few years back. It looks like crap now since I drive it more than wash it, but it looked good. I hit it with primer, 3-4 coats of color, then two coats of clear.
CarDomain appears to be down or I would link to an image.
Back from vaca and back to work. Some weld wheels in black chrome 2. Everyone always ask about this color but it can only be done over very polished aluminum or chrome. Also an intake in silver stardust/mirror clear.

Can you powder coat over chrome rims that are starting to Peel and bubble? They are just my winter wheels thought the black chrome would look good on the black car. Thought. It might seal them...
I could but they will continue to bubble and peel. Once that stuff starts there is no stopping it.
Kenny, What would you charge to do the timing cover on my 4.6 DOHC. Im thinking chrome or something close to that? Thanks.
Couple from today. I turbo housing in carbide black. A 55 chevy grill in tuscan matte black. I did almost every trim part on the car but was too lazy to lay it all out for a pic. Then we have a couple radiators from some dragsters. First is chrome/mirror clear and then dormant red/mirror clear.

Friday update. First we have some ford 3v covers in the ford wrinkle blue, then we have some silver stardust/clear on a turbo setup for a gto. We then have a Subi turbo housing in satin black ceramic and intake in wrinkle red. Next is a vic jr intake/elbow and v/c's for a 5.0 stang in mirror silver sparkle/clear and mirror red. Last but not least some parts for a 70 Cuda, v/c's in wrinkle black, misc parts/fan in satin black and the intake is new and just has a clear over the bare aluminum.

very nice!!!!!!
Couple different colors. First is shocker yellow over silver vein. I did it on a tube frame my brother built from scratch for one of his r/c trucks. He does damn amazing work. Next is a color called black chrome 2 but apparently it has been changed as it more of a trans black than the bluish/gray tint it use to be

That's pretty cool color Kenny, looks good!
Well I guess black is still where its at as that seems to be all I have done lately. In tuscan matte black we have some audi and some nissan titan wheels. In satin black we have some old mustang 10 holes and a bunch of misc pontiac parts. Finally something not black an edelbrock intake in chrome/acrylic clear.

Finally a cool color that is not black, copper sparkle dormant. Color looks really good in the sun but it was cloudy when I took the pics. Oh yeah the pipes and cap are tuscan matte black and strut bar is silver stardust/clear

How long does that powder coating last under normal circumstances?

My rear sway bar is powder coated, the coating around the sharp edges have worn thin and the bar has started to rust. The rest of the bar could use a wash and wax and it would look brand new; 5 years, 100k miles on it. :bigthumb

Yep what he said:bigthumb Very durable and much more than liquid paint.
It holds up to MAPP gas pretty damn well too.
hey powdercoating guy:lol:, what would you get for a set of ford racing valve covers? these are the ones with the bare metal "fins" which wouldn't get coated. thanks!
You mean like these here? It would be approx $75 to do a set, let me know if I can help

I like this combo...I usually don't care for orange much but this orange is actually pretty cool looking:bigthumbQuote:

Much of that stuff is going to look bad AZZ on my 69 firebird. Thanks Kenny!
How much to powder coat a rollcage?
My oven is only 6'x4'x'4 and unless you are doing a complete bolt together cage it won't work
Hey John here are your covers, hope you like. Also some magna fuel pressure regs in mirror black/mirror silver sparkle with clear.

wow. those are awesome. i'll be down tomorrow after work at the latest.
Thanks, wasn't sure if it was possible.Quote:

For the LSX guys here is an intake in carbide black and valley pan/front covers and fuel rails in auto charcoal metallic.
