New BOV
Looking to replace my BOV/Bypass valve. My current set up is the Vortech Mondo from what I can gather. I would like to replace it with something, well that looks better.... the kicker is I prefer it to be a direct replacement bolt off bolt on new. Here is a pic of what I have, its not that bad looking but it just doesnt look right I have tried cleaning it up polishing it etc but it just goes back to being dull. Id like a polished one or even red.... any ideas...thanks! Tial? Big Red??

Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin." The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is mainly used for coating of metals, such as "whiteware", aluminium extrusions, and automobile and bicycle parts. Newer technologies allow other materials, such as MDF (medium-density fibreboard), to be powder coated using different methods. |
