I had a friend from work help me with it. You need an old oven and the powdercoating kit from eastwood.

Its really easy and the results are spectacular. The color Ive been using is "translucent blue". It has that "wet, clear" look to it.

I was fortunate enough that one guy from work bought the powdercoating kit and he lets everybody else use it, and we had the means to hook up an old oven at work also. you can do it in your garage, but I think it needs 220 volts for an oven, so that might be a hassle.

Just make sure you prep the parts good, get them really clean, hook up the ground wire, spray the part, bake it at 400 degrees for like 20 minutes, and your done.

If you buy an old oven from a garage sale or something, and know how to wire a 220 outlet in your garage, your in. The powdercoating kit isnt that much, $150.00 I think, and a bottle of color is like $12.00

I threw him a $20 for helping me. We did my valve covers, upper intake, the radiator supports and the front cover brackets, and the a/c, power steering bracket
