Freestyle Powder coating ported 62t cases?

[Superjetjim]

Can you powder coat 62T cases that have been ported (would block off the relevant areas so only external faces are coated) but I'm thinking about the temps that powder coat is baked on at in the oven? Anyone done it?

Powder coat cures around 350F-400f. I did my 61x case. They are cast aluminum so I don't think you have to worry about changing material properties by annealing. You also should look at any epoxy they used as filler as it may be brought above its Tg point. I did mine in a large toaster oven I have dedicated to powder coat with a harbor freight $50 powder coat gun. they look great.

Thanks Josh, the epoxy is my concern, it's a work of art and I don't want to trash it!
