powdercoating td04

[JTStarlet92]

Ok so firstly, is it possible to powdercoat the compressor side of the turbo without paint peeling or coming off?

Secondly, am I better taking the turbo apart to get it coated or keep it as is?

Lol why would u powder coat a turbo??

It will last five minutes under boost before it catches fire or u die of smoke inhalation

[JTStarlet92]

I just heard it was possible? Thought this was the best place to ask ha

[MARC MOSS]

Honestly mate they get way to hot

You can ceramic coat it pall, same end result as powdercoat but will not burn off

I know you can have the exhaust manifold coated in ceramic shit, you can choose different colours too. But it ain't cheap.

Canny mind the name of the company but they might be able to help you ?

The compressor side dont get that hot!

Martin from holland has only sprayed his with what i think was VHT paint and his has lasted for months and a ct9 turbo gets hotter then most turbos due to the size of it!

I did spray the exhaust side the black vht and it lasted about a week before it looks immensly shite !

If you google ceramic coating there are lots of places that you can send it off to be done

Quite expensive but works pretty well and looks great.

I've phoned zircotec about exhaust manifolds and stuff and its quite expensive but worth it I suppose, got told you can touch the manifolds when hot with the best coating? Think I'll get everything else sorted first before dealing with the turbo as there's some wobble in the shaft

Turbine side gets mega hot and isnt worth painting, Compressor side is okay to paint just make sure you use a high heat paint and give it a good coating and it should be okay

BBQ Paint or paint for the inside of stoves is perfect ;-)
