Richard, I had all my tin powder coated in semi-gloss black, which looks really good, and the fan housing in silver. Almost wish I hadn't done the fan housing. It's a little too shiny for my taste, but they did a good job and I'm getting used to it. Otherwise, you can just clean and repaint it, but you may have to do it again in a few years to keep it looking good. Good luck, Freddie Lochner http://devoted.to/my69notch 69 Notch 66 Fasty I had all engine tin powder coated black for three VW engines. It cost about $180 per engine to powder coat, I think. That includes the cost to sandblast the tin. You can save about half the cost, if you sandblast the parts yourself. But many are too big for our sand blaster. So I paid to have the parts sandblasted. They look beautiful. So beautiful, in fact, that I'm planning to powder coat engine tin on all my cars. There's one that I have thought of powder coating "blue" instead of "black". What are the ramifications of having engine tin powder coated "blue". I've always heard that the color should be black to help engine cooling. Is there any truth to that?
