If you are talking to me, my throttle body has held up pretty damn good. It looks exactly how it did the day I painted it. I went with the duplicolor 500* engine paint/primer and clear coat.

Mine is also great!

DO NOT USE Rustoleum paint, the clear will turn yellow, TRUST ME. My throttle body though was the only part that didn't yellow, but I wouldn't take nay chances. I'm gonna have to re-do it all again over the winter. I polished my valve covers & other stuff, the only problem I had was doing my throttle body, there is ALOT of TINY nooks I couldn't get to, so I polished parts of it and painted some others... here's a pic

if you are looking to polish your t-body , i do polishing or if you want to powder coat it that can be done . to powder coat this item you are only looking at maybe $35.00 over and done , if i polish it you are looking at about $ 90.00 and it will look like chrome . if any of you have seen my bat , it looks like chrome .

you can get me at the show this weekend and we can talk .




thanks tiger ray

I might take you up on the powder coating of the tb

Just a heads up, the whole thing cant be powdercoated because one side of it has a big plastic cover. The rest would look great though and Ray does some good work.
