lol gotta love Aussies eh!

bloody oath mate....lol

Are you serious man....unless it's got some full show car spec underbody I wouldn't even bother. Just give it a good clean, and it'll come up decent.

lol... i wasnt going to go any fancy colour just black so she was neat... but i guess just a clean will do....

Poweder coating is good, it is fairly hard, smooth so dirt usually wipes off well. it can have a gloss to it as well.
It can handle SOME heat, as it is a plastic, it is baked on, so shouldn't get any hotter than the oven it is baked in.
ie no exhaust !
but engine bay parts are fine, ie inlet manifoldr/cover etc.
keep in mind it is thick, so bolt holes will need to be re drilled out and threads... well umm retapped !
or mask off areas you don't want done.

hope that helps

yEAh rocker cover and maybe manifold . (
Pretty much you can get it in most colours too which is good.
The guy that i go through always says that parts should be sandblasted first for the best results

cheers i will be asking my cuz this arvo......

basically normal powdercoat, I wouldn't run high temp apps but there are high temp powders out there, we were playing with them for a little while.
there my extractors.


Also have done my springs, although never fitted fronts.

It's good in a lot of engine bay underbody applications really.
even wheels.

But to get a nice glassy finish, eg not all orange peelly etc. isn't quite as easy, as people go about with paint.
Although theres a Large range of colours, it's not as easy to mix, eg the making custom colours take a lot of time, not really viable.
threads, well if there worth using they'll have have plugs and caps for threads etc.

Also be aware, greasy oily parts, needs to be thourouly cleaned, so if your getting it done on the cheap I'd suggest you give it a decent degrease before handing it over, so he doesn't have to spend to long cleaninng it.

Do all the bolt on bit's in the engine bay. It will look mint.

can you powdercoat rims i mean i know you can but is it worth it, i have elgts in champagne n i hate the colour now but love the rim style so was thinkin of making them silver. if not powdercoating is there any other good way to change the colour??

Id prob say if they geniune dont if there not . Then do what you want .

not genuine. would it last though?
