Powder coating engine compartment

[edwardb]

Seasons might be one thing but if you put a few thousand miles on your car each year (especially on the highway), you'll experience road grime, tar, road paint, mud and bugs in the engine compartment.....in addition to a little dust.
You can't go wrong with powdering the engine bar aluminum. Looks aside, it's just a whole lot easier to clean and maintain than the raw aluminum.

By "seasons" I meant driving seasons. Good grief. I too put several thousand miles a year on my cars. I've seen most of those things in the wheel wells, on the outside of the body, and collect lots of bugs in the radiator. But rarely see them in the actual engine compartment, which was my original comment. But I 100% agree the powder coated panels are a lot easier to maintain if that's the look you want over the raw aluminum. My builds have been 100% power coated. Top and bottom.
