White powder coat

[Aleinsteingenius]

I am wondering what white powder coat would look like on the inside of the engine bay aluminum. They seem to have white engine compartments a lot on race cars. Anybody have any pictures?

Look up Edwardb’s 20th anniversary build. I think he had white panels.

I am using Prismatic Powders "Soft White" in my engine bay.

Factory Five did white powder coat on the engine facing panels for the 20th Anniversary Roadsters. I had 03 of 20. These two posts give an idea:

The Coyote hides things a bit but it was a nice clean look. Lots more pictures in my build thread link in my sig line below.

Paul,

I forgot just how nice your 20th Anniversary build was, you build a very nice car!

I did body and paint on 3 of the 20th Anniversary cars which had white coated panels---actually it was kind of an off white in a satin rather than high gloss finish. All 3 had some miles (one almost 10,000!) by the time I got them and they were starting to look a little grungy with dirt and the usual road grime that gets stirred up. Just consider that to keep them looking good will probably take more effort than most other powder coat colors.
