Powdercoated my Holley Carb
ok I quickly attached the main pieces so it looks assembled but its not, this was just so I could take some pics. I missed two spots on the back fuel bowl, thankfully its on the back bowl, its not that bad though, the pieces I missed are more like I didn't get enough blue on those parts, its still blue just has some chrome specs showing through the blue, no biggy, If I were doing this for a customer I would redo the rear fuel bowl though.
Here I attempted to mask off the letters HOLLEY and it worked out OK, up close you can see the tape bleed so the letters look like crap up close but no biggy you can 't see it anyways, and if you can its from a distance and will look pretty good. The letters were small so taping them off was tough.
The Vacuum secondary pump is also doen in almost chrome, and the electric choke which I forgot to do. I may do in Candy Blue as well, it has a black cap on it so only a little piece will be candy blue, so I am undecided as of yet, might just go with almost chrome as well, we'll see.

Right now I am using the Chicago Electric gun, its cheap but does a decent job. The fuel bowls are done in Candy blue over top of Mirror Chrome, and the main body section was done in MIrror Chrome with high gloss clear powder over top.

yes I do it at home, I got the gun off ebay but many powdercoating places sell it. And I get my powders from either www.pendrypowdercoatings.com or www.columbiacoatings.com
