Has anyone had to powder coat their supercharger lid?

I know this is not what your looking for but, I have seen them. I have always wondered what putting a coating does to the ability of the part to shed heat though.

my Race built blower from FAS Motorsports will be here this week,
I ordered the top lid in white. It won’t be here until Friday but the pics look great.
I will post pics when it gets here

I’ll have to check that out. So different guts but same lid? How much was the lid?

 

[Hossfly]

No that’s a factory lid. Just powder coated
I think it was 150.00
the snout and blower section are all polished, ported with ceramic bearings and clearanced.

was it hard to take apart? I want to restore the factory finish, I rubbed some off with goo gone trying to get the sticky stuff ftom sticker.

No problem at all.
just be sure to clean the sealing surface and torque the lid bolts back in the proper way.

Chris, I had the same problem with the sticky stuff and rubbed some finish off.
I used a high heat paint and it actually turned out good.
Pulling that lid off isn’t hard, but, you have a sensitive paper gasket and all the bolts have a torque pattern.
You might try the high heat paint first. If you don’t like the outcome, pull it.

what paint did you use?

I wouldn’t do anything but powder coat. Way more durable for the environment it’s being used in.
paint will work but won’t stay pretty as long in the heat. I know the heat paint will work for you but powder coat is alwa my 1st. Choice for durability
just my .02

 

[TOPDAWG]

I agree, if you want to take the SC off.

Your just powder coating the lid right? Not the whole blower?

Yes but I’ll probably just leave I’ll post a pic tell me what you think

I dropped a Dremel on my thermostat housing on my purple Hellcat. Said Dremel was locked to on (I was polishing the coolant lines). It gouged a nice scrape in it, similar to what you have here on your SC lid. I fixed mine with shake paint and a coat of shake paint clear coat. It looked like nothing ever happened. You could do the same thing to this one, but as I mentioned to you in DMs a few days ago, I would worry about it "baking" into a different color as that SC gets HOT.
