Powder coated parts

[Speedtospare]

My spare cobra valve covers, timing cover, coolant crossover, and coil covers were just sent into the powercoaters last week. Does anyone else have there's coated or painted? I will post pick up when I get them back.

Valve covers and crossover pipe are going orange with gold flake. The coil covers and timing cover are being painted black.

I'm getting ready to wrinkle coat my set in azure satin blue if it ever warms up a bit

You do your own powder coating?

 

[ponyboy89lx]

i got a buddy that does it lol. I thought about buying the gun and trying it for shits and giggles just to see if i could do it. You can buy the gun kits for a reasonable price, just use a conventional oven to bake it, disadvantage to the small oven is small parts only.

There done, I just have to go pick them up.

I have some parts powder coated on the 5.4 for my fox, some for the 5.4 in my 2002, and wrinkle painted a bunch on my 2003 Cobra...

Orange with gold metallic. Hard to see the gold in artificial light. Timing cover is gloss black. All work was done by http://www.flashfirecoatings.com/ in Courtice Ontario. They did all the blasting and coating.

I didn't want ford blue, red, black, or wrinkle anythying as they were the most common colors people used. I wanted 2 stage but the costs would getting out of hand. This is what I decided on.

Should brighten things up a bit lol. Most people overlook my car because everything looks factory. This should get there attention. I didn't want to disassemble the blower so it going to be painted black.

The do look sweet and should get some great attention. I bought a media blast cabinet and plan to do some powder coating on mine. Not a skill I already have, but looks easy enough.

I have some pics of my powder coated pieces... Wrinkle black but I'm not tryin to go for flashy... The coil covers are not powder coated just painted but they will be powder coated a blue to match the snake on the intake.

I about did a double take until I remembered you are doing the turbo install. I like the aluminum on the front. Looks sweet.

 

[NightStalker]

Yeah should make it look good in a smoothed engine bay... What made you almost do a double take?

 

[Bill]

That would be headers facing the front of the motor. Mine don't do that

 

[NightStalker]

Oh, I forgot about that... Yeah I hope it fits I there with them, thought they were going to hug the block more. I think they will but will be really close!

Very nice I love the cobra intake and everything looks menacing black. You have all the nice polished pieces for the front of the engine. I run the Reichard Racing ac delete on mine (8 rib). Slightly more bling of your looking to best of the best (which you look like you already have.

and I know what that damn tension and crank pulley cost freakishly expensive. I have the same crank pulley in 15% OD and I want that tensioner.

Excited to see it completed
