hey, was wondering if anyone has tried powder coating their exhaust? will it hold up to the exhaust temps?? this isn't for my car exhaust...its going on my dirt bike so transfering heat or other vw related problems that might occur might not be an issue here. if powder coating wont be a good choice then i need some other way to get a flat black DURABLE finish that wont burn up on the first ride like bbq paint!!
ok and for those that might not be familiar with powder coating here goes my brief speal on what it is and how its done (bare with me...i'm not always the best at this).
powder coating is a process where a peice of bare, clean metal is negativly charged and the powder sprayed out is positivly charged. by doing this the object being sprayed attracts the powder to it and gets covered evenly and completly, no thin sports here. because the way the process is done, you must mask off any areas that you do not want to get covered (the powder will get pulled to any bare, exposed metal). there can be mistakes sometimes so it may not be recomended to do carbs or other parts that have small passages that must stay exact (once this process is done it is very hard to take off). after the peice is coated it gets baked (for how long and what temp i'm not sure)...and there you have it, a good looking peice that is much more durable than paint.
so can anyone add more info to my powder coating class or answer my question??
