Powdercoating Gen 3 Intakes

bldg636

Hey guys, i've seen a few instances where people powdercoated their gen 3 intakes. I was thinking of doing the same thing, maybe in a flat red or a gloss black. Are there any potential problems with doing this? (i.e extra heat retention, etc). Is there anything that i should relay informationally to the powdercoater to take care while prepping the tubes for the paint? I'm assuming there's some extra precauting that needs to be taken with the MAF sensor area . . . Thanks in advance!

Nothing you really need to worry about with them. Need to keep the threaded holes where the screws that hold the MAF sensors in place install clean of powder, but thats about it. I coat for a couple different manufacturers of their own systems for different cars, some want the whole maf area masked, others just want the screw holes.

If its a nismo, I had mine done in wrinkle red and it goes great with the red engine cover.
