At Mantell Motorsport, we harness the latest technologies to give you the performance, look and feel

engine to your specific requirements.

Be honest. It's about "The Look" too. At Mantell Motorsport we're also expert in "media blasting"
and "powder coating".
Media Blasting involves the stripping and preparation of various surfaces for paint without
damaging underlying material. The process is similar to sand-blasting, except we carefully select
from a range of abrasives to assure the best results.
Powder Coating is a superior alternative to painting or plating for many metallic automotive parts
and other items that require an especially tough, attractive protective coating. Powder Coating
is a baked-on plastic finish. It's available in an almost unlimited range of colors. The
application process is environmentally friendly; no volatile solvents are released into the air.
The process also yields a consistent coating thickness - free from drips, runs, or sags. But
the biggest selling point of Powder Coating is superior durability in terms of chip-and-scratch
resistance, solvent and fuel resistance, and color stability.
