After talking to a cousin this thanksgiving weekend he told me he is working a winter job at a powdercoatin/ceramic coating company and he would coat anything I wanted for free or at his cost. Im exactly sure what I would even want done at this point because my lancer is fairly new. Just lookin for some opinions of what people would do if coating was that cheap for them...

I don't think he meant everyone send him their crap to get it coated. I think he just wanted suggestions as what he could powdercoat!

Intake manifold, valve cover, wheels, random under-hood brackets like radiator all would look like show peices for a fraction of the cost with powdercoat.

Ceramic coat all exhaust pieces and randon heat shield thruout the car.


That's if it were free for me....

I'd powdercoat everything under the hood that can be unmounted and withstand the heat.

If powdercoating were free I'd powdercoat my cat!!

I asked him about my strut bars and he was saying if they were already painted its a pain to strip the paint perfectly, sometimes after the process is done black spots appear. That could be his lack of experience

valve cover, intake manifold, header. engine itself if you can take it out. you might as well, just get high temp coating. it works. just use different colors, figure out a scheme and go with it, one color to match your car and the other color a contrast. if your car is yellow, then a blue contrast would look good.
