I'll tell ya like my buddy Tony says: Nitrous makes everything bad about a turbo go away, and everything good about a turbo better... I think a small shot, like a 50-75hp shot is fantastic for guys running big turbos...
That's my .02 cents... :icon_razz

well not really....
I'd prefer to get it coated black or grey to match my interior.. better lookin then a big ass blue tank that Sticks out like a sore thumb.
i believe the quote is "bottles are for babies, real men get blown" pun intended
call the manufacturer and ask what is required to replace the valve assy. without it, its just a metal cylinder. no danger whatsoever. theres a number of companies that sell the valves separately so I don't imagine it's a big deal.

Chuck a blankie on it it will serve a dual purpose of keeping the temp/pressure up and hide it from view.Superjustin13 said:
Sorry if I don't think "fashion" is a good reason to go to this amount of trouble (powder coating) I'm not sure if it applies to NoS bottles but I know you can't paint industrial gas bottles as they need to comply to a worldwide accepted identification standard.

I have a bottle heater. and what trouble i get powdercoating free.
One of my Local buddy sponcers.
definitely wouldn't mess with the structural integrity of your bottle. youd have to get it rehydro'ed afterward. why not just paint the thing...id match same color as my car. powdercoating might be free, but cleaning up from the explosion would probably cost a bit more.

Ok points to consider.
What material is the bottle
What Temper if any
What Temp does the Powder Coating process use
If all of this checks out and you get it coated then retested they WILL restamp the bottle trashing the Coating in that area.....
as I said too much hassle for "fashion" if you really want to change it's colour grab some paint (I've seen one done in red with fire extinguisher stickers to pass it off as an onboard fire system)
