    Question Has anyone painted their blower brackets?

    Has anyone ever painted their blower brackets? My money tree is pretty much picked clean so I don't have the cash to get them powder coated. I have a couple cans of high temp. satin black laying around and thought it might look good and help the head unit stand out. What do yuns guys think? I've already done my valve covers and they came out really really good.

    damn I should have done something with them. The blower stuff sat in my closet for almost year before going on the car. Damn I had all the time in the world to do it. But now since its on, I guess it will stay the way it is.

    Where are you located? I own a powder coating business, and will do the bracket for you CHEAP,,,, Powder Coat is much much more durable and chemical resistant than paint, and will last 5x longer, plus I believe it is easier to clean..... Bee
