    Powdercoat firewall???

    Have any of you had your aluminum firewall powder coated? Would you recommend it?

    I did on my truck build. Similar if not exactly the same firewall. Also the pieces below the main firewall. One of several options. But I like it.

    I powder coated anything I could. So much easier to handle and not worry about scratching so easily

    How about engine turning it? This was much easier than I thought it would be. I did my dash and door panels as well.

    I powder coated a lot, but I wanted the firewall and footboxes to be polished. Easy to clean too.

    I powder coated mine. Just didn't want to deal with polishing behind engine.. Think it cost me about $130.00
