well i want to give my engine a little color and spice under the hood. so u can sand some pieces and paint ...but that option doesn't seem like it would last. eventually start chipping and whatnot. So powder coating seems like a good option. What vendors powder coat/ and which ones have under-hood kits for sale.(that include fuel rails...etc)

Mike the powdercoater (corvettepilot) would be the first vendor I would contact about powdercoating. Very professional and excellent service.
