Thumbs up Powder Coating Now Available!! SPECIALIZED STAINLESS

I've been trying to get a powder coating option available to you guys for a while. I finalized the deal over SEMA this past week with the company that will be doing our powder coating work. I sent them some sample Specialized Stainless covers and they all came out great!

Not only are we offering coating on our covers, we're offering coating for a number of parts! Including but not limited to: Alternators, Aluminum Intake Manifolds (LTx), Plastic Intake Manifolds (LSx), Brake Calipers, Coil Brackets, Fuel Rails, Valve Covers, etc. We have many colors also: Anniversary Edition Red (C5), Atomic Orange (C6), Black,Blue, Clear,Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic (C6), Electron Blue (C5), Green,Lemans Blue (C5-C6), Machine Silver (C5-C6), Magnetic Red I and II (C5-C6), Millennium Yellow (C5-C6), Monterey Red (C6), Orange, Pink, Purple, Quicksilver (C5),Red, Silver, Torch Red (C5), Velocity Yellow (C6), Victory Red (C6), White, Yellow. Most are also available in Candy (translucent).

If you don't see the color or part you want coated on our site or have any technical questions, shoot an email to: mike@specializedstainless.com (our powder coater) and he can help you out

That looks amazing! I might have to get some stuff done! That candy blue is basically translucent electron blue? That'll match my viper blue nicely.

Yes, it would match nicely. You can also adjust the lightness and darkness of the blue by applying more or less powder.

We can do black, and yes, the plastic intakes are powdercoated. I have developed a way to coat them quite successfully.


btw, I'm Mike and I'm doing the powdercoating for Specialized Stainless now.

Yes, you can powder coat over the etchings as long as it's a Candy powder

The pictures don't do them justice, the etchings will almost disappear at some angles, then stand out at others.

we do have several other silvers available though. I still haven't coated a FAST, but am currently working with someone who is willing to take a chance after it gets ported. Its made of a polymer called AMODEL which is stable to 650 degrees, which is much higher than I cure at, but thats a very expensive piece to expirement with. Here are some silvers:

If F-body Electron blue is the same as Corvette Electron blue, this is our match for it.

Damn I wish this would have been an option when I bought my covers. they are kinda scratched up now, but I bet that clear coating would have helped a ton.

You can get them powder coated in a candy color and that will help hide the scratches...
