Yea I saw that and since the pictures didn't work i thought i post a topic. Something like this looks good!

 

Compressor - YES

Turbine - NO
Powder coating is cured at 350 to 400 degrees F. and the Turbine housing reaches 800 degrees F. regularly and higher than that when you are really pushing the car hard. So you will toast the powder coating on the Turbine very very quickly and that beautiful powder coating will not so beautiful any more.

 

^^^ What he said.

 

A high temp coating that comes in various colors, can be used on the hotside. I coated my hotside, manifold, and 4 bolt downpipe connection. I did not coat my compressor side... yet:

 

That looks good, can't wait for the compressor side!

 

Bump!

 

Local powder coater says he has a black ceramic powder coat that will hold 1500+ F,

I want to say 1600 or 2000 but I don't remember.

I'd ask them before hand.

 

I have a friend who does really good powdercoating work and done many compressor housings. Im going to have him do mine just thought I see if i can get any ideas from here.

 

Yes, you can, but make sure it can def hold the heat. I chromed a BBK-B and Jet-Hot 2000 coated the turbine housing, but apparently people have powder coated the compressor without issue.

 

i wonder how much benefit you get from coating the hotside of a turbo.
