streetplatoon Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) has anybody powdercoated there stock carbs, if so would the slides window need to be removed or can they handle the heat?

andrew3160 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 You would most likely want to remove everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werner Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 you can do it. I bought these old 35s and completely stripped and rebuilt everything. Had the cap and bowls polished and then used Duplicolor Metal Cast green on top of adhesion promotor and chrome. In my florecent light garage it looks dull but in the sun it has the pop of translucent. With clearcoat over the top it should hold up pretty well.

andrew3160 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 If you are going to powder (not paint) then you will need to remove anything that cant stand up to 400 degrees for 10-20 min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

werner Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Napa carries the adhesion promotor and the chrome And the Metal Cast. This paint is designed to be sprayed on a shiney metallic surface so you must use promoter then mexi chrome as a base coat. Then 3-4 very light coats of color. Let it dry for. A few days then hit it with clear. just make sure you take your time and tape/prep well or it wont turn out right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

werner Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Yes. I know u asked about PC but I used all paint. I wanted to see how durable it is with clear coat and the fuel beating on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUILDER Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 You would need to totaly strip the carbs but if you wanted to change the color I would think you would anodize them not pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAYHALL Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 how does that paint hold up to fuel ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werner Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 The paint itself wont hold up well but they have been clearcoated so we will see. Its experimental for me too. Hopefully a few seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
