Get the air cleaner hot, like 200-250 degrees in a oven. Then put a cover coat. Back in oven at 150-200 for 10-15 minutes. Then final coat or repeat once more. Doesn't need thick coats. Then bake for 1 hour at 150-200 degrees. Will look very uniform and will be VERY durable. Way more uniform that factory. Factory had runs and not uniform coverage. The run in this valve cover it because I put a coat on too thick. Next run I experimented with multiple very thin distant fog coats on that air cleaner top. That was over reacting and got paint everywhere  . I got less wrinkle and more of a uniform textured look. Best technique was in between both those ideas with the same looking results as the distant fog coats.  [image][/image]

Powder coating has it's place and looks great, however it does not result in a 100% factory appearance, mainly because a powder coated finish is too even where as a painted part is less even and more blotchy between smooth and wrinkled areas. Also, if you have ANY dings, scrapes, or other imperfections they WILL show through powder coating, same goes for the paint but to a lesser degree than powder coat.
Scott in the day of concours incorrect over restoration I would have thought that the overdone look of powdercoat would be welcomed ???

Welcomed by who? I am not part of that "concours incorrect over restoration" crowd so I guess I missed your point?

We just did a 69 HiPo air cleaner today in my oven for Troy's 69 340 Swinger in Kylon wrinkle.
Maybe he will post pictures??
Heated oven to 170 degrees. Put air cleaner in for about 10-15 minutes. Sprayed a pretty decent wet coat of paint. Back in over for 15 minutes. Noticed some thin spots. Out of oven for 2nd coat put on all the way around. Back in over for 20 minutes.
He liked what he saw, so he took it out. Was nervous about it changing it's look if left longer. Personally, I think he should have left it in there for an hour. It would be fully dried by then and I think be more durable.

Talk about a small world....this is what Steve and I did today. Preheat oven to 170 degrees. Place part in oven for 5 to 8 min. Pull part out and apply a medium coat of paint on part. Place back in oven for 10 to 13 minutes. Pull part out of oven and apply second medium coat of paint on part. Place back in oven for 15 minutes. Let cool and your done. Last but not least.....don't let the wife find out that your cooking car parts in her oven.
