powdercoating question

[Doc]

Can you powdercoat chromed items like a motorbike exhaust ?

 

[Toby]

I would guess the heat would destroy it. Why do you want to?

[capriaddict]

Possibly i think you'd have to have the chrome plating removed first though.

Nope it will burn off, Ever seen a exhaust manifold powder coated????

You would need to have it ceramic coated mate whuch would also make it run a lot cooler

Camcoat in warrington do it and its not over the top prices

What sort of money out of interest?

hohoho cermacoating will cost you a pretty penny. Will see if I can't find out some pricing for you. Only problem with it is it is very nice and shiny until the exhausts get repeatedly hot then they start to discolour... I think thats quite a cool look but just don't expect them to stay shiny and chrome eternally. Unless you're going to be burning methanol or course...

Mine was done some 15 months ago and still looks fine (though admittedly it's not like chrome) In answer to Toby's question, It was around £200 for a 3 piece pinto manifold

Not TOO bad then.
