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. | |

| 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 ![Painting throttle body - Page 2 Throttlebody](https://2img.net/h/i99.photobucket.com/albums/l288/adamhowen/Project%20Charger/throttlebody.jpg) | |

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 .

| 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. | |
