Powder Coating Engine
I have a black 09 EG Standard and am thinking of powder coating the engine and exhaust black. I wanted to get some feedback on powder coating and get a ballpark figure on how much I would need squirrel away to my secret account the old lady doesn't know about.

Can't help on the engine costs, but as far as powder coating an exhaust, it won't hold up, temps are too hot and it will melt the powder, some say that you can powder coat the heat shields and it will hold up, but I dunno'...
You would need to have it ceramic coated to hold up, I used Electrotech,

So an engine needs to be disassembled to be powder coated? I put a big bore kit on my Sporty, but the jugs are black, while the engine is straight aluminum. I just took out the motor yesterday, thinking I could have it powder coated. Looks like those two cans of HD wrinkle black will come in handy after all!
