powdercoating sr20 redtop v/c

[gsxrbg]

hello just wondering if anyone has tried to powdercoat an sr20det redtop v/c it has baffles with black silicone on the underside, i was wondering if the silicone is high temp or not we cook the valve covers at 400-450 deg,will it hold up,thanks in advance

Why not just paint it with high heat paint? I think Im going to paint mine to match my car.

Ill post some as soon as I get my 240 back from the shop and get it painted. I think Im going to go with a high gloss paint. Dark Blue to match the car.

Painted with high temp paint with high temp clear. It's now black though, wanted to retain the original color of the valve cover.

i want to powdercoat it because thats what we do we powdercoat parts plus if you spray it then you have a better chance of chipping it,with the powdercoat you could drop it and it will still be fine.please let me know we have alot of customers wanting sr covers done, we just got a new candy apple red and it looks sick we shoot it over a coat of chrome

I powdercoated mine and the silicone held up in the oven. Good luck, and post some pictures when you get done.

I had the choice of gloss black, OSHA red (blech), CAT-yellow, and a "maybe" on John Deere Green. I thought long and hard about JD Green since I interned with them for a summer, but chose this instead:

Powdercoated, with 300-grit used to remove the coating from the letters.

Thanks.

One of my teammates actually worked for a company that powdercoated parts as one step in the manufacturing process, so it was free. I did all the prep, including the beadblasting. I can post some pictures if you want.
