i am thinking about painting my carb once i get it for my engine build. has anyone ever done this and what success did ya have. thank you

 

i painted mine black at one point. cheap rattle can black. the spilled gas from changing jets and tuning ate the paint off in under a week.

 

since painting it hasnt seemed to work out well for people, what do yall think about powder coating the fuel bowls?

 

i know some companies now sell colored anodized carb parts. i dont see how powder coating the outer parts would adversely affect the carbs operation. and it would probably hold up better to gas than paint.

 

do you know of any companies that sell anodized bowls? i cant seem to find any

 

all ive ever seen was anodized metering plates and base plates. ive never searched for them though.

 

ok thanks im gonna buy a fuel bowl and take it to the powder coating shop and see what they say about it.

 

Powder coating isn't any better. It's highly permeable and soluble in gasoline.

You might try ceramic coating such as Jet-Hot; or, Eastwood (I think that's who it is anyway) sells the stuff to put the same type finish they came with when new.

 

i was gonna say look into ceramic coating, but if you look at sites like holley/quick fuel etc they anodize the metering plates like travis said only because they are aluminum.

it looks as though many people use powder coat on it more than ceramic. google search it and look for answers on other forums
