is powder coating the trans case too much? reason im asking is because i know you need too "cook" the part in a 400 degree oven, will this hurt the case in anyway?

 

400 degrees is nothing compared to the temp that it gets while its running on the car.

 

thats cool. i didnt know how hot the tranny got exactly. thanks.

 

just paint it

 

i think ima have it coated. coating last much longer than paint. ive had a few trannys painted.

 

im gonna be the first to ask

why are you painting your tranny?

 

cause its comming out tonight and being rebuilt. if its already out, why not have it look better before it goes back in?

 

Sounds like a good reason to me.

 

its all about attention too detail. you dont have too buy $400 parts too make you car look good. alls you need is some powder coating, some paint, and patients.

Yeah, post up the pics when you are done powder coating the tranny.

I would really like to see how it comes out.

 

just dont powder coat it black ahah

it wont be fun trying to find leaks.

 

haha, i actually thought about that. while were at it, what colors would be cool? im either sending it too
TRGcoatings.com or
Boneheadperformance.com
check out their colors and tell me what you think. they are the only 2 places i use. great service on both.

something natural? like silver or something aha. Bronze would look sweet!

 

thats why i need help. im either thinkin bronze or shiney silver.....i dont want it too show up my h22. BUT it sits pretty low so i dont think itd be a problem.

 

just go w/ silver, bronze would make your tranny just look dirtier when it gets dirty ahah.

 

AH, but id be "shiney dirt" so itd still look good, lol.

 

I think this is a great idea and I'm "In for pics" But just my $0.02, I think you should clean it really good (as if you weren't) and get out any scratches as best you can and then clear powder it. Colors are as cool as they are, but nothing looks as good as what looks like a brand new part.

I think that would be really neato.

 

great point. i get a lot of stuff coated, and this car im actually keeping. ive had 6 this year already. this car im going all out. i want the "stockISH" look. meaning a color close too stock, but slightly different too add too the custom effect. regaurdless as long as its not super crazy itll look good.

 

Yea, the cleared tranny would look stockish, but a little off because it would be shinier. The color though, can't be beat.

 

I wouldn't do the inside as it may affect the clearances. Stick to the outside.

 

"inside" as where the tranny and block mate? if so i agree.

 

Update this thread with pics when/if you do it ok?
