I tried some searching but didn’t come up with much of anything so I thought I’d just ask.

The serpentine pulleys on my 502s have seen better days. There’s always the option of yanking them and repainting them, but what does one do if they want to add some bling to the front of these things? I’ve seen some pricey upgrades from CP Performance and could go that route, though I really like Merc blue. Has anyone used 500 EFI pulleys on a standard 454/502 serpentine setup?

It'd take some searching but I recall a post a couple of years ago where someone powdercoated his pulleys. A few comments and opinions about whether it would flake off but apparently it was an excellent job and was standing up very well. Certainly looked nice in pics.

Found the thread! Starts off a bit negative towards powder coating but changes quickly.

Thanks! I was looking at that thread last night while I was searching. They do look really nice and would be really durable. That’s an option for sure (and probably much cheaper).
