well...couldn't find pontiac blue, so i went for "hammered silver". pretty cool powdercoating effect. will post up a pic when i get it back later this week.
hahaha, well the bonus is the damn convertible pump is sitting on top of the toaster oven. I'm really not home much. sort of a jumping off point to have fun elsewhere.
i looked into the issue of the powder coat melting or having other issues as a result of heat. Basically what i came to find out is that the intake doesn't get hot enough to cause those kinds of problems. the fact that there's constantly air flow helps to cool the metal. that and edelbrock is currently selling their intakes with a black powder coat. if i do run into any issues, i'll defintely report back.
Most powder coatings can operate at 250 degrees no problem.
We have coated heads, blocks, intakes, etc with no failures.
About the only thing that can not be coated is headers/exhaust manifolds.
