Just came back from the Powder Coaters
Thought you all would like to see some awesome looking parts for Project GTUs. The upper and lower intake manifold was done gloss black with Super Dust II, the water pump housing was sanded down and ceramic coated with the chrome color.

Why didn't you ceramic coat the manifolds Dana? I can't wait to try out my Powder coater, everything in my hood is getting coated 
Edit- almost forgot to say, those manifolds and WP look SICK dude.

The tape the powder coater uses is weird stuff. Its thinner than a peice of paper but feels like plastic. Not sure what it is.

I used to run a Powdercoating Shop, and we would use a specifically designed tape from Scapa:
Product Number: 592
Product Type: Single Sided Tape
Adhesive: Silicone
Thickness: 0.082mm
Markets: Industrial
Substrate: PET Film
Functions: Masking & Protection
Application:
General purpose masking in powder coating applications.
It's really useful, because it's so tough. We could use it to mask off surfaces while glass blasting parts. It'd hard as hell to tear, but cuts beautifully with an exacto knife - and leaves a nice hard edge.
The stuff ain't cheap though!

Thats about the same color I did my T2 intakes. I used a high-temp paint/clear, and did it all myself, and cured it under a UV baking lamp.I did all the IMs, as well as alot of accessory pieces.I agree with you, I dont like alot of polished parts in the engine bay. The contrast of the metallic black/polished stuff will look awesome though. Great men have similar tastes Looks great.
Looks great.
