How much does powder coating cost?

i was just wondering if anyone who has had the intercooler piping for a procharger powdercoated and has a price estimate on it? is it possible just to paint it yourself with some high temp paint?

you can paint it yourself. Powder coating depends on color, and supply/demand. Like if there is a coater on every corner it would be cheaper. For all the piping I'd expect no more then 200

For $285.00 you can ceramic coat them with a smooth coating inside as well. thats what i did

I doubt the coating will make the airflow better but it should keep the tubes and air charge cooler.

If I am not mistaken if it comes in color it is a paint based coating and not a true ceramic coating.

HPC - High Performance Coatings - There is a Difference! is a good source.

depends on where you go and what you get done. but I have a friend that had his rims powdercoated for $30 a rim
