| Q: How well do the kits fit? A: The kits fit well. See the photos below. Each part is checked before powder coating and is trimmed to fit. This way you can be confident that your kit will fit with a minimal of fuss. Also, Metal thickness is either the same as original parts or 0.005" thinner on some parts. Key parts like the fan shroud and cylinder covers are stock thickness. Many of the SCAT parts are CAD plated inside and out, this helps prevent future rust. |
Q: Can I mix and match colors?
A: YES! This is not a problem. You can mix and match colors are you desire. There is a
$5 color change charge.

Q: Can powder coat be color matched to paint?
A: Powder coat to paint - It is not easy or cheap to match powder coat to paint. At this time, we
do not have the equipment to properly color match to an existing paint job. This would be
virtually impossible to do via the mail. However, certain standard colors like "Ford engine blue"
or "Chevy engine orange" are available. Email us with your colors and we will see what we can
do. It is possible to get powder coat made to an exact shade of color, but this requires a paint
sample, a couple of weeks and it is expensive.
A: Paint to powder coat - This is much cheaper and easier route for you to take. It is easy to have
a paint shop custom blend paint to match your powder coat sample. We can even include a 4"
disc powder coated for you so you have a handy part to use as a sample.
Q: I want a color not on your current list. Can I get it?
A: YES! Many colors are available, we just don't stock them all. There is a wide range of colors

Q: Can I get my used parts powder coated?
A: Yes you can send us your used parts. However, keep in mind that any part you send maybe
over 30 years old. Deep rust pits and dents will show up in the finish. We can not use plastic
body fillers due to the curing oven. We do have high temperature metallic body fillers that can
be used.
For very dirty parts, there may be an additional cleaning charge. All parts are sandblasted, but
extremely rusted parts may have an additional charge.
We can do welding repairs on cracked tin for an additional charge.

Q: Do you do other parts besides the engine kit?
A: The oven is 21" X 38" X 14". We can do big items like rims and fan shrouds. We can not do
big things like pans and front end beams.
Q: How do I clean my powder coated surfaces?
A: Normal car wash soap is fine. Do NOT use gasoline, mineral spirits carb cleaner or other
harsh solvents because they can ruin the gloss.

Q: What is powder coat?
A: Powder coat is a tough finish that lasts much longer than conventional paint. If you have ever
painted an engine, than you know how screw drivers and wrenches can ruin your finish quickly.
Also, cheap "off-shore" chrome tin starts to rust in a few months.
