Default Who can custom Powder Coat my Intake?

Ok so long story short, I will be getting a LS6 intake manifold too finish off my bolt ons. The one thing I want to do to it is powder coat it to somewhat match the color of my car. I know powder coating can actually be done on the plastic manifolds now-days, I'm not really sure how that is doable, but a lot of people seem to be able to do it, and I don't want it painted because I want it to last a long time.

I know there are a few people/sponsors on this forum that can do the job but I can't find them via searches or anything, so list them up!

If any of them have a blue color that is close to the color of my car that's fine, it does not have to be perfect, because the cheaper the better, of course!

Here is a pic of my car:

We can powder coat the LS intake manifolds: http://store.specializedstainless.co...Powder+Coating

I've got a pretty close match to your paint on polished stainless but that will change with the base coat. I'll have to talk to my powder coater...

I'm The Powder Pro Thanks all you guys for the props, I try

I'll shoot you a PM.

Not throwing rocks in any way but that stainless piece posted is an anodized blue powder, that won't come anywhere near the color of your car even if you used a darker basecoat under it and has zero metallic content in it as well, its a topcoat only. It'll either be too light like or too dark.

Just treat it like a body part and have it painted the same color as your car and then clear coat it...I had a body shop do it 4 years ago and it still looks good.
