Anyone Powder Coat FD Throttle Bodies?
 
Looking for someone who can powder coat throttle bodies for FD RX-7. I was told this was harder to do, due to the thermo pellet wax, Is there anyone on here that has experience with this and could do it?

Thanks!

well i cant do it but i have done it to mine. I stripped everything out of mine and tapped up both ends so the powder don't get in where the throttle plates are. Other then having a few areas that are tight it isn't much of an issue. Tight areas with powder coating opens up issues called Faraday Cage areas or something like that.

I powdered coated mine in a satin finish and nickel plated all the hardware lol. the image opens correctly if you right click open in a new window, all my pictures are like that for some reason.

Damn that nickel plating though..... Sure makes it pop.

Yeah I like it. I needed to do something either polish the aluminum or make the hardware stand out. And polishing was to time consuming. I did this for all the fasteners under the hood. For some fasteners it came out looking like chrome but others it didn't. I didn't care to polish all the fasteners which would have helped make it all look like chrome. Had other stuff to deal with in my build.
