Looks sweet Red01 did you polish it yourself? I polished mine but don't have an engine to put it on. For anyone looking at doing this themselves it is a lot of work with the stripping being the easy part.
I will end up with a polished kb blower someday and this time i will have some experience

Powder Coating
What do y'all think about having it powder coated the same color as the paint?
I sell manufacturing software and recently demo'd to a company that makes powder coating and it looks pretty cool.
Has anyone done it?

WOW RED 01
thats so kewl!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you polish that yourself ?? Did that lower the weight of your truck ?? Hmm mabye with all that paint thats gone now can get that truck in the 12s with you driving ,,,,
For anyone that wanted to know why there is a portion of the blower that is not polished is because the polisher that completed this work and all of mine is a total *****king idiot. I wouldent reccomend him to polish your **** on a rainy day

Rich -
You sure as heck want something that is very stable. A carnuba wax is out cuz it'll melt at pretty low temps. Also alot of those waxes have a bunch of petroleum-based products which I'm not a fan of on metal.
You want a polymer - based product for that blower. Zaino, Zymol and I'm not sure if one of your favorites liquid glass is a polymer or carnuba based.
I have spent a ton of time and money researching paints, polishes, waxes, etc. I've got all the premium brands and then some on my shelf. Send me an e-mail if you want more info on how waxes or polishes reflect light vs. refract it. Since you do so much for the community I would be happy to share my thoughts and findings with you.
