Best way to clean an Intake for powder coating?
#2
When I got my intake powdercoated, I had to get my intake cemically stripped. They use an acid to remove all the grease and caked on dirt. After the "acid dip" it was ready for powdercoating. On a side note, I was told that it had to be "acid dipped" because the intake is aluminum, so sandblasting was out of the question. But any steel parts you have for powdercoating can be sandblasted for prep. Hope that helps...........

That would make a total of three intakes I own...lol.
Thank for the offer though.
I can have it powder coated for free...I have a few connections.
I just want it to be perfectly clean and I wanted to have it done before I take it in. Long store as to why....and I'm sure none of you would really care.
Previous owner of the intake had it painted and it looks good but I was thinking of getting it powdercoated since it free.
By the way, what all is in a tank of Hot tank solution.

I do powdercoating as a second business. I ALWAYS bead blast the part and acid wash it. Make sure you wear gloves though. And always wash it off with water NO SOAP!! That way when you per-heat it you don't have any extra gasses building up in the kiln. Always use and electric oven that can be set at a specific heat level. I use 212' for 12 minutes on all my jobs and they turn out flawless
