Color Carbs
Demon Carburetion, a Barry Grant Inc. company, announces the availability of custom powdercoating of carburetors and components. The powdercoating is applied to the float bowls or center sections. Only the exterior surfaces are coated; all internal areas are carefully masked to prevent the coating from deviating. These powdercoated items are available in a wide range of colors, including some candy colors. For that added touch, Rush air filter assemblies will also be coated to match the carburetors.
