Default ls1 throttle body clean up

I picked up a package deal on some parts including a butchered up throttle body.my? Is can I powder coat the outside and polish the inside?I had to open it up already by sanding it?

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. It's gonna get pretty warm when you're running, so keep that in mind. That's even if you bypass the TB coolant lines.

Vendors on here sell powder coated TB's, so don't see why you couldn't. Or, you could even use that high temp. paint.

Thanks for the input. What's the reason for the coolant lines to be removed?

coolant line runs through the TB so that the blade doesnt stick in extreme cold weather...
