Default Powdercoating the 1UZ Intake Manifolds

Powdercoating is the most trick thing in the book. It makes things look better than new and totally custom. It affordable and provides a super durable finish. Also when you take parts in to have them coated they sandblast them to make sure the finish adheres to the part as well as it should. I did a lot of black parts in gloss and semi-gloss and I did the manifolds and the valve covers in red. I just like the look of the Corvette engines so that is my inspiration. I also want to get a handful of allen bolts to sprinkle around the engine as well.
