Rattle Can Clear coat?
Whats the best Clear Coat to put on my Plenum and throttle body? I know I can get the Plenum Powder Coated Clear but what about the TB? By the way the TB/gun was polished by Mike at polishingInc.com he is also known as "85SportCoupeto89RS" here on the board.
My plenum has always been polished I just had it touched up...so I want to clear it all so I dont have to mess with it again...
what can I use..

I don't know if they do or not but, I doubt it. Eastwood is a very reputable company like Summit or Jegs.
Even at the $9+5, that's considerably cheaper than buying a quart of PPG 2021 clear, reducer and catalyst (close to $70 here). If you have went throught the trouble of making your intake look as impressive as shown, why skimp now on a protective clear (i.e. buying some wally-world 98¢ spray bomb crap that will yellow, blister and peel after the first time it gets warm ?). Or, pay the extra and powder coat it.
Why even ask if you're not willing to spend a little extra coin for something worth buying ?
