Thinking about getting the coul cover powder coated, is this a wise move?
My car is green, what colour should I get it poder coated? Green too?

Didn't really want factory (well I didn't think I did
). Seen some nasty looking jobs and some really nice looking ones. Was thinking about green just on the coil pack cover.
Can you get metallic powder coating?
ANyone on here offer a good service?

I'm with the others here, silver is the way forward (Though red or black crackle-finish might look good).Originally posted by Animal Mother View PostDidn't really want factory (well I didn't think I did ).

There is a good powder-coating place in Buckley that I've used a few times before;

I'd also go with Black or Silver as the only sensible options... Yikes - did I say sensible?
Fuggit - if you want it to be Metallic Green or Luminescent Pink, then you go girl Its your car.

I think the problem is, the green would never be an exact match for the body colourComment

Powder Coat
Hi again,
After doing the ignition conversion, the spare cam cover I modified for the final solution is going to cost “£45” to have it powder coated silver. (Local to where I live, Welling, Kent)
I will leave the ignition coil cover (hot air cover in my case) polished alloy.
Ba,
