The powder coating service we offer is a very detailed and extensive service, not simply a little sanding and re-shoot.




We take preventive measures to ensure no sand enters the baffles. Unlike other powder coaters, we are Evo fanatics so we know exactly how parts function and what can or cannot be blasted or coated. We've coated literally hundreds of valve covers and have had zero issues. Turn around time right now is about 10 business days.
So you can GUARANTEE that the powdercoat won't melt, fade, or discolor under harsh conditions? And by that, I mean using the Tirado coated brakes on a race car that see very high brake temperatures.... If so, I'm sending mine in.

No we don't warranty or guarantee that the powder coat won't melt or fade as we cannot monitor the use of the coated calipers.
Most of our customers drag or track their cars and have had zero issues.

If you are melting powder coat I would worry more about your piston seals/dust boots being damaged.

How about on the exhaust manifold headers? Will it melt due to very hot temperature?
