    With the warm temps and a couple hours of free time, I began the Spring Powder Coating Fling!

    I know what you're thinking: "Nice. You got your TB powder coated."
    WRONG.
    That TB is off of a Viper car. While extremely similar, there's one slight difference....and that required a complete re-build of the TB!

    PLENTY more to come in the following weeks.

    Very nice! I was looking at adding some powder coating under the hood and was wondering how bad it locks in heat?

    I haven't noticed any addition or retention of heat with powder coating.
    My non-professional guess would be that it's minimal, and that the protection benefits out-weigh any slight heat adding/retention.
