VHT makes ceramic paint that lives on headers all day long.
Just sandblast it down to the aluminum-Done! Probably would disapate heat better as well.
Just use some paint stripper to remove the stock powder coating. It looks good with no paint. Very easy to do.
Here's one ready to be buffed.
can i use paint stripper to stip the paint in my 04 cobra eaton?
You'd be suprised how easy it comes off. Takes 10 to 15 minutes.
which brand paint stripper? any of the walmart ones work?
thinking of painting my valve covers grabber blue. and polishing the blower or painting in flat wrinkle black.

I would like to know this also
Upon inspection of the provided pic above it looks as if it needs to be pulled apart....I would have thought it would be fine...wonder what the bolts that hold the front drive on would look like after? And I would really like to get a nice shiny pulley made to replace the stock one... who can make an interchanging pulley stock size and larger?!

A company names Eastwood makes a nice clear that holds up well. Make sure you tell them for natural surface. They makes two types. One for painted, one for non painted. Holds up to engine heat well, and does not stain when gas hits it like other clear coats.
Metco and others I am sure. I have the metco and its the 2.6 and I know they make a stock size. I bet they have a larger option or could fab it up if needed.
The new Silver elbows are different than the hold ones. Just be prepared for that.
The new silver one uses a different sensor and its integrated into the elbow. The older ones has the metal elbow coming off for the hose.
New cars can use the old ones by using some hose and extending the wres a lil, but old cars will be a lot of work to use the new ones.
However, if your evap system is disabled or is gonna be, then you can just cap that hole all together.

ahhhh...Good Stuff! thanks for sharing!! Im really still on the fence about wether or not to strip the black paint off the blower.. which probably means I have to pull it completly apart or scuffing it down and painting it silver....:shrug:
