it isnt powdercoating...it is a high heat engine block enamel. it seems to be staying on there pretty damn good. i did like 7 or 8 coats of it so...it better not flake off. it stayed on through washing today so it should be good.

it took me about 2 days...you put a light first coat, wait ten mins and then spray a second, wait ten mins and then spray a third, and so on and so on until you get to the last one and then you spray a wet coat and let them sit for 3-6 hours. i did like 7 or 8 coats so it took me a little longer. they turned out really good. not too labor intensive though.
