| Q: how well do the kits fit? A: The kits fit well. The holes line up & the seams match. See the photos below of a yellow kit installed on an engine. Each part is checked before powdercoating & 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 & cylinder covers are stock thickness. Many of the SCAT parts are CAD plated inside & out, this helps prevent future rust. |
Q: Can I mix & match colors?
A: YES! This is not a problem. You can mix & match colors are you desire. There is a $5 color
change charge.

Q: Can powdercoat be color matched to paint?
A: Powdercoat to paint - It is not easy or cheap to match powdercoat 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 & we will see what we can do. It
is possible to get powdercoat made to an exact shade of color, but this requires a paint sample,
a couple of weeks & it is fairly expensive.
A: paint to powdercoat - This IS much cheaper & easier route for you to take. It is easy to have a
paint shop custom blend paint to match your powdercoat sample. I can even include a 4" disc
powdercoated for you so you have a handy wait to carry around your 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 powdercoated?
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 & dents will show up in the finish. I can not use plastic body
fillers due to the curing oven. I do have high temperature metallic body fillers that can be used.
parts, there may be an additional charge. I always sandblast the parts, but extremely rusted
parts may have an additional charge.
I 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 & fan shrouds. We can not do
things like bumpers, engine blocks or tractor tires. Email us with your items & we will see what
we can do.
Q: How do I clean my powdercoated surfaces?
or any normal car wash soap are fine. Do NOT use gasoline, mineral spirits or other harsh
solvents because they can ruin the gloss if left on for too long.

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