Powder coated my surge tanks - PIC - Courtesy Exotic-Metal55
Exotic_Metal55 was kind enough to powdercoat 2 sets of surge tanks for Hadilaw and me. There are some pics of the masking and semi finished product.

Looking good!
I have been wanting to do this for some time but don't want to be without my car for an extended period.
Do you guys have spares? Maybe we could get a core exchange program running???

1. remove air boxes and rubber inlet to TB
2. unscrew 8 tq bolts on each tank
3. loosen the rubber coupler below the TB and you are done.
when installing make sure you use new gaskets. they are 10.5 a piece at MB dealership

a Rivera...via a Custom 24, Strat and Les Paul
LOOKS SICK!!!!!!! I was set on black but after seeing those - red may be the way to go. And for the price and time for being out of commission

now you're just playing games with me
You guys really do have a great thing going on down there. I know B "worth the wait" has someone who can do them up here, but like he said - just not willing to have her out of commission and for God sakes $40.00
- we can't even park our cars up here for 2 hours for 40.00. I really want to do the calipers also (which something tells me will be the next Houston DIY) but same situation as above - I'm telling you - DIY clinics for all the major AMG hubs.

Yeah, it is one thing to find a reputable shop here that will do a decent job and not ream you....but they all want at least three days to do the job, or more. Maybe if we got 10-15 pieces together, all the the same color, maybe they would turn it over same day......maybe
Personally I am in favor of every member here having racing red surge tanks! Maybe I will try and find a set for cores and just rotate them around.
Car-part.com...here I come...lol.
