Default Powder Coating MSD Atomic Air Force Intake Manifold

Has anyone had their MSD Atomic Air Force Intake Manifold Powder Coated? I painted mine but the color shift paint I use is not High Temp, so I stripped it. I would like to get it Powder Coated. Not interested in Ceramic or Cerakote due to limited colors. I found a place in Texas that coats them but I'm hoping to find a place local in NJ or the tri-state area.

you understand that some high temp powder coats require baking at up to 600*, and the plastics in the manifold are going to distort at those temps?

So your better off spray with high temp paints for plastics (including top clear coat is needed) instead.

Absolutely, I'm well aware of the baking process. There's UV powder coating that doesn't require high temps for curing. M. P. Coatings in Texas has done a few successfully. I'm only doing the top


Before I stripped the paint off.
