I have my supercharger off and thought about getting it powder coated wrinkle red. My powder coater is a good friend and he said he has to run it at 375* for 15 minutes.
Now I have done some research and everyone says no more than 300* I really dont want to pull the bearings and seals out of her so I was wondering if there is a paint out there that can give me the look of wrinkle red.
I am assuming you can strip it all the way down using aircraft stripper, put down a coat of primer, and then probably 3 layers of paint. I just really dont want to deal with peeling.

Thanks guys,
Josh

I would just use paint and not risk baking it. If you want wrinkle red, try shooting VHT wrinkle (I did mine and looks great) then maybe a few light coats of red

If you want to Powder Coat it then you will need to dissassemble it. Take all the bearings out and strip the paint off. I think the case would be easy to do just tape off the inlets and the bolt holes and go at it. The Snout needs to be completely dissassembled as well if you want it done. It would be a good idea to get another blower then have it coated and stripped then sent to Steig or Posi for a port.

15 minutes at 375 wont harm a bearing much if at all. as long as the grease is out and they are clean so nothing can bake in them. I heat bearings to 400 all the time for installation purposes on gear shafts. We also have to warranty everything for 5 years in our aftermarket side and our marine side (navy gearboxes) for far longer.

what happened to the VHT? Stupid question but did you shake the hell out of the can or just not what you wanted after it dried?
