Has anyone used hi temp paint to cover the black sc cover? I know D3 use to powder coat or something but I read they didn't do this anymore.

I've been debating about tackling this. I probably would already be doing it if I could decide what color(s) i'd want to do. You don't really need powdercoat or high-temp paint for the cover (as long as you use good paint to begin with), since it doesn't really get THAT hot (not like brake calipers or headers...etc). The only concern here is that some clearcoats will turn yellow because of the heat. But again, good paint makes all the difference.

D3 did powercoating to the Supercharger Lids a while back but have discontinued powdercoating the Lids.

I would use a VHT Vinyl Dye Paint or any other brand so the paint sticks to the plastic better and will not peel or crack.:thumbsup:

That is what I used back when I did Car Audio Installation for a living.

Thanks. I didn't realize it was plastic.

I think every one is talking abought two different things. D3 powercoated the supercharge lid which is cast. The cover over is plastic and can not be powercoated. But could be painted. Ryan

Got it. I was talking about the cast lid.

Thanks.

My bad...... Then you don't need the vinyl paint and you could have it powder coated.

Thanks.

Sorry, thought you meant the engine cover.

Alright. I'm going to have the lid powder coated. What do I need to know about removing the lid? Will I have to replace a gasket? Torque specs on reinstall?

I have a subscription to alldata but they don't cover sc disassembly. Does the FSM?

Thanks.
