Lots of pics of powder coating I've done lately

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?

What do you consider "normal circumstances"?

It is more durable than most paint. Valve covers, intakes, etc you probably won't have to re-coat, ever. Sub frame connectors, etc which get hit by road debris may need a re-application in a few years. 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

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.

Thanks, wasn't sure if it was possible.

It would be possible if my oven was big enough and you cut the roof off your car and then could install the entire roll cage at once. Small bolt together cages are doable or swing out door bars. Problem with cages is I can't coat it then weld it up it need completely welded then coated.

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