Remember how all the Magnesium wheels, blowers, and valvecovers of the ’60s and ’70s were sort of a gold color? Well that gold color was actually a coating called DOW 7 and was applied to protect the incredibly sensitive Magnesium from corrosion and such. The bad thing about DOW 7 was the fact that it wasn’t very durable so it wore off and had to be reapplied or you had to live with it. Well after paying attention to their customers and the cars we all love, Rocket scientists have come up with RPM 7 which is a specially mixed powder coating that looks like DOW 7 but with the amazing durability of new high-tech powder-coating. We totally approve and love these! Below is all the info from Rocket.
