Yeah, definitely would have left the TB out, but looks good.

Yea... the TB was used and I thought about leaving it alone but did not clean up as nice as I had hoped... so off to powder it went...

How much does powdercoating items like that usually run?

MasterTomos

I dont believe they have flat rates for many things, and it has to do with what all you're getting done ect.

here's their website, and as mentioned up above, they are a sponsor so I'm sure theyd be glad to help you/answer questions:

Why red? Everybody and their brother paints LT1 stuff red. You could have done it any color you wanted to. Now it looks like an LT4 mani or an edelbrock mani.

would like pics of it on the car. gotta feeling its gonna be too much red imo

MasterTomos

IMO it's because brighter colors make it more distinguishable where one part stops and another begins, thus a "cleaner" or simpler look it seems. Red goes with many colors and aftermarket parts (strut tower braces, msd wires, optima redtops, valve covers, ect.) so it's an easy color to "match" in the engine bay-and it's a traditional chevy color as well (black and red). Many go by the old saying "don't mess with success." and while some people, like yourself, might want something unique, other just want something they know will look good...it may be seen as the "easy road out", but I must say, it looks DAMN good.

Is the entire manifold powder coated or are the mating surfaces to the cylinder heads bare?

MasterTomos

iTrader: (15)

Im assuming it would be bare, like the one pictured on their website (page 2, first pic top left)

im going to go with becuase his car is red.

im going to do mine in green and black to match my car. im going to do my valve covers black and have camaro in block green written on them

joelster

LOL, I honestly just looked and noticed that his car is red. That doesn't leave him with too many choices. A nice glossy silver would look good, but maybe too close to stock. Pontiac blue?

yah its kinda hard. im sure a lot of people do red and black becuase there neutral and chevys used to come with red or reddish orange engines.

Yea... its a red thing that and the MAF ends will be the only red.. everything else will be black... thought about other colors but I am not that creative, so stuck with the theme of the car.. what can I say I am boring ;-)

nah i think its good to do it that way ties the whole car together. the trick is to to do highlights on the car but to not go over the top and make it look tacky or like a ricer.

my car is completly green and im going to have black hockey stripes and black rims with chrome lips the hood im still in the air with becuase i haven't picked one. im going to do what you did to the the intake except im going green instead of red. like i stated earlier black valve covers with camaro in block lettering in green.
