Should be ok but if they have to shot blast before coating so it could be a problem with the grit

I had mine done on my Evo, no problems at all....

If you find yourself a good powdercoater who cares then you'll be fine, the powdercoater i use is a top fella who always prep's everything correctly, he always masks off all threads and mating faces so the powdercoat doesn't screw everything up.

He also washed out the fuel tank so there was no trace of shot or sand in the tank - great bloke.

Depends on powdercoater really as RSTurbo and Cosworth standard tanks have plastic in them..

My own powder will not do it due to melting the plastic however J1mbo has had his done over his way with no problems

I was told the same, carnt be done as it will melt the plastic inside the tank, so i just painted it.

all depends how hot they bake it due to the plastic swirl pot, powdercoat can be baked at as little as 150 degrees this may be ok may not tho!

wh0s_the_daddy

Find a powdercoater who uses infared lamps to bake, that won't harm the plastic parts inside the tank.......
