What is the temperature for powder coating? I'd be concerned about warpage.

Slightly depends on the powde, but 300-400 F at around 20mins. NP. I will be doing it, but currently moving to Charleston, SC in two weeks so it'll have to wait.

Yes, I like the reply. For the Carb Bodies. I want to do, and have in the past. I like the extra bowls for the use.
I know the intrecies of the fine details.
Good Luck with the powder coat! I will continue to PC my parts.

I would plate the carb bodies. You can get many tints as well as colors now with plating, and since it is actually a metal covering, it is very resistant to chemicals.
