Just wondering what it would look like if the blower and all the pipes were powdercoated

Vortech is doing something kinda like that on their new 5.0 kits...

I think it would look cool depending on what color you decided on.

^^i agree w/ teej...ive seen em and i mean they do it to twin screws all the time! But I think it'd look sick personally. Would definately set you apart from the crowd!

A black blower would look awesome! It would clean up the engine bay a little

Thats where i got the idea from teej, I was thinking about getting it black but then all my pipes and my IC would have to be painted too or else it wont look right i dont think.

The problem I see with powder coat, is that it's only going to hold heat that much more, as far as heat soaking and things..

Would definately be stylish, The possibility of a vortech on my car is growing daily, and I will powder coat the piping atleast. Just looks clean and very unique!

DO IT!

Haha yeah im looking into it, im guessing the only color that would look good is black?

that would look pretty sick. if you have the money, go for it. jtb brings up a good point about the heat though. id check into that

The powdercoat won't absolutely KILL your blower, (heat soak and things) but it will just make it that much harder for heat to escape... How far apart can you take the headunit? It will need sand blasting, thats gonna be the hard part.. (I've never had the chance to look at one out side of a car in person.).. The powdercoating should be pretty cheap though, as the units are decently small.


I'm guessing your car is black from the pictures? Black would look good but kind of hide it, do you have any color on your car(interior, etc?)

I saw that model blower on a 5.0 a few months back/ Looks really good. You cant really see it at first because it blends in so well with all of the other black componenets under the hood.
