Has anyone used wheel coating to paint their carburetor float bowls?

No but I have been thinking about powder coating mine as well as the top hat piece.

i've been contemplating this very same idea. i think i am going to use duplicolor engine enamel though. it is supposed to be pretty oil and fuel resistant. now for the color? my bike is pretty much going to be black frame, black tank, so a color accent would be nice. any ideas?

later,

i saw the idea for wheel coating on some kind of monster garage show where they used it for six pack carb rebuild.
they said it is very tough.

Carb cleaner is pretty harsh on a lot of finishes including some powdercoat...
