Poweder coating/ hot tanking in DFW

[txtorquemade]

Anyone know where I can get my intake and VC hot tanked, or sandblasted. Maybe powder coated as well.

But I might just paint "crinkle black" finish.

Thanks....

You know you can powder coat stuff at home right? Harbor Freight sells little kits. You just need an oven where you can bake the parts at 400 for a few hours. My dad used to setup powder coat/e-coat setups for a bunch of companies. If you want more info on how to do it, I can ask him and get some solid info.

Okay, I will PM you this weekend after I talk to him. I'll always do a solid for my E30 brethren.

My blast setup is simple an cheap. Its a single stage dewalt compresser thats meant to be used for a framing gun. I plug it into a 60 gallon surge tank that was an old propane tank. Yeah, I have to let it charge a lot, but it gets the job done. DIY'in stuff is easy, you just have to be thrifty. Harbor Freight is your friend, because they have cheap tools that get the job done. Plus blast media is cheap, just get yourself some #4. I have a 1968 Suzuki K10p and I did the whole thing with my cheapy blast setup.

I got some stuff sand blasted and powdercoated at Longhorn Powdercoaters in Haltom City. They did a good job with a 2 day turn around.
