To avoid all this and any problems after reassembly, I painted my throttle body
with a contrasting color Hi Temp engine paint (matte black)
when I powdercoated my motor.
Red cam covers and metallic silver plenum etc.

Thanks, ran out of time, went to the powder coaters this morning, of course, masked off the obvious parts, the are two small veins on the drivers side of the TB and I asked them to powder coat if they could mask around them. Excited to get my stuff back from the coaters tomorrow hopefully!

While we on a similar subject, I am not powder coating the airlines, I don’t want bright polished look, I just want the clean stock looking air lines, any feedback?
