Default Intake Manifold Powdercoating
I've seen a few people here and there who have nicely powdercoated intake manifolds. I was wondering how to do it and what is required? If its even possible to do yourself. Or if thats not possible, then some places that would do the job of powdercoating the intake manifold for a reasonable price.

You need a powder gun and an oven.

Anybody interested in a used Eastwood powdercoating gun? I liked the original so much I bought their $600 ‘pro’ version, now I have the original one sitting on the shelf.
First $75 takes it and I will cover the shipping….

BTW - powder coating is easier than regular painting!

Very nice looking. Is a powder gun a special tool that can be hooked up to a air compressor, or is it a indivual thing? Also, by oven do you mean your regular household oven or like the ones they have in autobody shops?

RX7 my ****. That is a manifold from a 20B Cosmo. Now, it might have been going in an RX7 (if it was watch out!) but it sure didnt come from one. That is a BAD A$$ motor!!

That engine is in this rx7... Bad *** is an understatement..

Yes a small compressor will run the gun with no issues.

No DO NOT use you home oven... Fumes are created by the curing process and I am sure that your food will not taste very good afterwards...

Hmm... Maybe I'll go dig up a oven in a garage sale then. Any ideas on baking temperatures?
