SX/SXi/SXi Pro Re painted motor

while waiting for fiberglass and resin to dry for my trim, decided to paint my motor since is was out to put the timing advance plate in.. what u guys think? (painted the stock head till i can afford my ADA one...)

I did the same thing to my motor a couple years ago and it still looks amazing. I had it powder coated so it can hold up to the heat over the years.

what did it cost to have it powder coated (if u remember...) i much rather do that than paint it every other year..

powder coating is the way to go but youll hav to beak the motor down, powder coating is the way to go but it is plastic based , i dont know how salt water will affect it but i love the color , keep rocking

I think it cost me about $350 but as jetskier23 mentioned you have to break everything down as each piece needs to be clean and free of and fuel or oil as the parts are placed in some sort of oven. There are pics on my build thread of each piece that was powder coated.

If repainted becomes a pain, then the next time you tear down your motor get it powder coated.
