I have an aluminum intake and valve covers i need powdercoated, can anyone recommend a joint in ATX that can do this without breaking it off in my a** Thanks Freddy
considering that the metal is clean, blasted, ect...and requiring minimal or no prep, I'll do it for you for cost. (maybe a little beer money tip) I don't know where ATX is but i'm in OKC. (Oklahoma City)
ATX is Austin, Texas. Try Akin, in Cedar Park. I will be bringing them some stuff here pretty soon. I've heard good reports from guys that have used them. http://www.akinandcompany.com/
I am in south Houston, and considering its clean like explained previously, I'll do it for ya. I will do it also if blasting or chem dunk is needed, just a smidgen more.
thanks turbo, what i have is an edelbrock streetmaster intake and 2 factory 428CJ valve covers--have any idea what it'd cost??
do yourself a big favor. throw 'em in the oven at 400 degrees for around an hour, unless they are BRAND new. it should be sufficient to cook any oils out of the pores of the aluminum. after that, wash them in Lacquer thinner...and do it again. I have seen seemingly clean aluminum come back 10 kinds of ****ed due to oil bake out.
