Thumbs up Can you powder coat a supercharger?

Wondering if I can powder coat my supercharger when it get's here gloss black.
it is the non polished version and I would like how it looks in black I think.
If I can would I have to remove the internals or anything or just put it in as is?

Yeah hopefully can.
Doesn't 1 company sell their kit with a black supercharger?
So would I have to take the casing off the sc and just do that part?
If so how difficult is it to remove the casing? Would I need to replace seals or anything when putting back together?

Yeah I will take pics. I do have to remove the casing of the sc to not heat the internals though right?
Aftercooler internals would be fine to do right?

Hit up TRG, but you def need to take out the internals of the blower, remember anything that won't last thru the blasting and 400+ degree oven has to come out. After cooler should be fine as is.
