jay200bhp Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I am currently modifying my inlet manifold and throttle body and when finished would like them powder coated, I guess I am thinking of the finish I would like at the moment but i am thinking of a high quality gloss black powder coat does any one recommend a powder coaters that can do both my inlet manifold (oem) and throttle body around the Oxfordshire area or somewhere else if you have posted to them and found the results to be very good. cheers ...

tooquicktostop Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Just be aware that black is not the best colour for keeping intake temps down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay200bhp Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 thats a good point Dean i was just thinking i may just go a bright silver so it still looks fairly oem in its colour scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I only know because I made that mistake myself and it was a factor in me seeing high intake temps on the dyno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
