is there any reason the tb could not withstand the heat from curring the powdercoat?

 

In the thread Powder coating cam covers they are doing it and at a great price. Check it out.

 

i have my own powder coating setup but just wanted to make sure nothing could be harmed from the heat ,i have heard somwhere that the gears inside are plastic but i dont know for sure what kind ,there is a lot of composite that can handle the heat ,i will be doing my own covers preaty quick and have thought about doing that also !!

 

That would look great, but I'm right with you on the "I don't know if..." part of your question. If it can, I have plenty of extra Reflective Chrome powder to coat most of my engine.

Kevin with Morris Powder Coating has done this. He is also the one doing all our cam covers. Great guy, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind you contacting him about the TB. http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?ac...ODE=4&MID=10152

 

Thanks for the props Sandyman, it really means a lot to me and Kevin. But Kevin has been doing the throttle body spacer, which is just a chunk of aluminum. I'm not sure about cooking the throttle body, since it has rubber gaskets in it, but Kevin (MorrisPowderCoating) would be the one to ask.

 

opps sorry about that guys. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

 

If powdercoating isn't an option, you can always go back to paint. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
