Powder coating ...... ?

Powder coating ...... ?
While my motor is torn down to the block i was thinking of getting some parts powder coated. I'm not too sure how things would turn out cuz i've really never seen a 5.0 with powder coated or painted motor parts. Anyone have any pics ? I know a guy who does powder coating and does it for fairly cheap. Would painting the parts myself be a better idea ?

Powder coat or POR-15. Powder coat is strong, but standard powders won't handle high temp. Most cure/flow out from 350-400 degrees. POR-15 you can brush on yourself, and it will look just about as good, and be nearly as tough. Plus, you can touch it up should you ever need to. POR-15 now offers engine kits for around $45 in many OEM engine colors (which most good powders should be able to do also), much cheaper than powder coating...
BTW, here's a piston I powder coated myself. Just a paperweight, but looks pretty cool, IMHO...
