[Lowndex]

My intake manifold is back from powder coat:

Looks great! What did it cost to do the intake?

If you had those sand blasted prior to powder coating, don't forget to wash the insides with soap and water


Grit + your motor = bad news

Wow those came out great

Powder coating was $500.00.

Very nice as well, sir. :beer:

You have interesting taste.

[Lowndex]

The top piece did not come out as specified. It is being sent back to be corrected. When done, the top should be a glossy, deep black with subtle hints of metallic. The vendor is having trouble with subtle. Worst case, just plain glossy, deep black will be used.

I wanted glossy, black chrome, but no one was able to deliver without first polishing the unit to a mirror finish. The cost would have been too high. I say this because the intake manifold will have a short life until the blower is installed.

Looks nice. The speckled look would be good at hiding any oxidized pitting that couldn't be remedied before paint.

What no port and polish? I paid $500 to have my lower cut open and ported/polished.

Looks like it is powder coated. You have mad spray paint skills, sir.

is that yours? I have a light grey powder coat on mine. above looks great.

Dont get me wrong your intake looks great. You went all out on other items, perhaps port match the bottom of the lower intake to the heads?

Porting was completed before powder coating.

[Turbov6Bryan]

Lowndex. What do they call that specific paint? Hammered???? I forget

Looks great.

Justbob +1 I use that same stuff

Yes, I bought it from another member who went the Trilogy route. They only had the lower done, I'll have to figure something out for an upper.

What paint did u use that looks good does it handle the heat

[justbob]

Either VHT or Duplicolor high heat as I used both brands on the upper, lower, cam covers, timing cover, and brackets.

They look just like they did a year and a half ago when I did it. No fading, chipping, or wearing of any kind.

Powder coated and will hold up to 250 degrees.
