Powdercoat on pulleys?
I am in the middle of my engine swap and I am taking several misc. brackets and such to the powdercoat folks. I was also considering powdercoating the pulleys. Anyone out there have anything good or bad to say about doing this? I can't think of any problems that I will have, but I thought I would throw it out to you guys first.

That's just what I wanted to comment about. I did my stockers years ago and they came out super nice. The only drwaback was the belts slipped and squeeled like mad so I taped off all but the grooves and sandblasted them and that got rid of the slipping belts. The PC is too slick for the belts to have a good grip
