What a TB! Candy Apple Red
What a TB! Candy Apple Red After quite a bit of testing, I finally have the custom Candy Apple Red Powdercoating down. I wanted something to go along with the anodized red Meziere H20. What's simply amazing is that the powdercoated TB & MAF look better than the Meziere. Does your car deserve this?

Re: What a TB! Candy Apple Red Man, that looks really good. Makes me almost <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> wish my color scheme was black/red instead of black/silver.

Re: What a TB! Candy Apple Red Thanks for the compliments guys.
Is this the BLUE you are referring to (it actually changes from Blue/Purple depending upon the light...I forget what they call that color):

I need to do alot of things on my car. I'm just getting caught up and can work on it a little. I'll be showing some other cool stuff shortly. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
MIGHTYMOUSE:
Box it up Buddy! I can do all of that stuff. Unfortuanately my oven isn't big enough to do the rear-end housing, or I'de show you AMAZING. When I build a 12 bolt, I will certainly be doing it. I'll be getting a larger oven eventually.
I'll do some Valvecovers up today.
NastyC5:
I haven't yet, but certainly can. I've done TB's for a Honda, Ford Lightening, standard Ford 5.4, and older GM TBI's. Just how much you'll gain by porting is on a case basis, but they can all be powdercoated, and any other metal part for that matter.

Re: What a TB! Candy Apple Red Here are my old valvecovers, from my old 98 heads, that I had powdercoated a few years ago, looked awesome!
I need to powdercoat my 2000 valvecovers!

Re: What a TB! Candy Apple Red Looks good John. Now I need to get after mine.
Which breather are you using in that pic? I need to get one, I pulled the TB off and was oil soaked even after the updated EGR.

Re: What a TB! Candy Apple Red (Metco Breather)
Jantz, are you getting a nice finish on the valvecovers? We had some spots where it seemed like impurities came out of the valve covers themselves, may have been poor pre-prepp.
With the candy colors, are you getting nice adherence with the second coat?
