    Is this Color OK

    Posted · Edited by 280zNHChris

    Thanks for the offer. $100 is a good deal. Since I can coat them myself it will save me money for other things. My stuff pretty much doesn't chip as long as you don't use an impact wrench. I have powdercoated over 20 sets of lugnuts for cars and they still look good. I blast a lot of stuff for cadmium plating for Bad Dog and it looks good, but I am not looking for an original OEM look. My bolts are candy blue. When I do a full restoration on a car I will take my time and do everything. The car is in good shape and I don't want a show car. I plan on driving it hard and at NHIS with club members. This is the car. The white one. If you need anything ceramic coated let me know, Z cars get discounts. 8) You can see more here... www.srpowdercoating.com

    Thanks Chris

    I saw that bolt kit, it looks nice. I am blasting and powder coating every bolt when I remove them, they are coated to the threads and then I am never seizing the threads. I should be good for a very long time, it will stop the bolts from bleeding rust (and save me $500).

    It is ceramic coating from Techline. It is a 2 part coating. You have to bake the manifold for over an hour at 450 before you coat it to burn off all residodo or you will have adhesion problems. This is not out of a spray can.

    Thanks for the input. I have a few different candy blues and think I will go that route, with the lollipop purple. I did it for me but also to show potential customers and didn't want to see them step back before they step forward. I'll do a valve cover in lollipop blue and use that. I do like all the candies but it is hard because they don't match much on cars. This car is also my summer driver so it gets lots of miles, though not sure about this summer. I have a 67 Datsun Pick-up, maybe that will become a candy pick up. 8)

    This motor is going in my 240zt. I got it as a longblock with lower end checked and head rebuilt p90a hyd. I have had some pieces around the shop coated for display and threw them on, JSK fuel rail w/gauge, 450cc dsm injectors, the intake is ported, shaved and coated for a 240sx throttle body, the exhaust manifold I did in 1600 degree blue ceramic. Have megasquirt 2 and EDIS going on it ( Z-Ya is helping on that), got Dereks dist. block off coming and gonna coat that in a candy also and a powerforce damper coming. Obviously there is no particular theme, I have been doing it mostly in candies ( I like them :) ). Some people think the valve cover is overkill and should be one color. Suggested valve color is lollipop blue like the front of the valve cover in the photo. What color valve cover should I do? Or would you suggest? The car is pearl white and graphite on the outside.

    Thanks Chris

    Good luck. Ceramic shatters very easily and doesn't like to be imbalanced. We were tuning a Miata with a RB26 ceramic turbo and at 7500 rpm it shot itself into the muffler. Had the 2 turbo's from the motor and the other showed problem signs also.

    powdercoating side trim, installing nerf bars?

    Posted · Edited by 280zNHChris

    Ok so calling all cars. I searched and found maybe one or two threads that mentioned nerf bars but didn't see any cars with installs. Also does anyone have pictures of cars where someone has powdercoated or blacked out their side body trim on top of a color car(something other than black car). Much thanks.

    Check out the orange car that Z-Ya just redid. All his chrome pieces were blasted and powdercoated satin black. Along with the motor pieces.

    Going to Boston on Tuesday tell me some nice cheap places to eat

    You can check out http://www.neaq.org the new england aquarium and http://www.mos.org the museum of science, both are cool and both have imax omnitheaters. Everything in Boston is close so you don't have to go far. You can take the nations first subway system wherever you want, check out the Harvard and MIT and Northeastern and Tufts and B.U. and B.C. girls. You can go to Newbury St. and look at the beautiful rich people and order $120 steaks. !!!:rolleyes: Have Fun!!!

    Manifold porting / runner mods questions

    You can powdercoat the manifold no problem, I have done many.

    You can also wrap ceramic coated headers in a wrap. The purpose of the ceramic is to do the inside so the heat flows out vs. being absorbed by the non-protected metal. The headers will still get hot just not as hot, so a wrap will still perform it's main function. The black ceramic is good to 2000 degrees, if you get that high you will probably have other problems soon.

    Good luck :icon14:

    I plan on doing everything myself except the uni-body (unless I make a "pregant" addition to my oven). I will probably ask another coater to do it. I'm just messing around now. If I change anything I'd just strip them down and recoat them. I didn't use acrylic because it chips easier and it's on the outside of the car. I can sand it down whenever, so no hurry for that now, too cold.
