    What to powder coat.

    Well I'm about to finish putting my engine back together, and I'm wondering what I should powder coat now that I got the parts laying around. I'M thinking valve cover, Fuel Rail, Thermostat Housing, Motor Mounts, and water pipe as of now. any suggestions are welcome.

    Ceramic coat the exhaust manifold, o2 housing, turbine housing and compressor housing. Anything that's rusted, get it coated. If you're up for it, get a heat dissipant coat on the intercooler.
    Time for another project....

    I should have my evo 3 intake manifold and 1g TB back from powder coat Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm having it coated "Sandblast" so it looks clean and stays clean. Depending on how it turns out, I do believe I will also have my spare TBE and VC coated as well once they get welded up. Basically, I just want to powder coat everything that is raw aluminum with a raw aluminum looking coat for easy cleaning and still appear stockish. I'm not a big flamboyant OH LOOK AT ME kinda person though.
