OK, I'll leave the tubes/ports alone.

, I agree, at that price it's worth just getting it done right, it'll be way more durable than paint. And that shop does good work, they coat of all of my Spiker hardware

.
Is there any way to strip down the throttle body to also get it powder coated (safely)? It's really in crappy shape. I can remove the TPS, the cam/spring assembly (I'll have it replated anyway), the brackets, the dashpot. But not sure about the idle control valve assembly, and also if I can have the throttle body powder coated without completely disassembling it. Suggestions?
