I am certain this has been discussed, but a couple of searches yielded nothing close.
Is it safe to paint or powder-coat the j tubes, branch pipes, and warm air valves? I doubt that painting the outside would pose any risk, but I would like to at least get some primer on the inside to prevent rust, but I have no idea how hot these get. The last thing I want to do is unknowingly huff my handiwork while driving. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) do not mix... |

I use high temp engine paint and then bake them in a oven I've got for shop use only.

I use the high temp paint as well. Bake in the oven when the wife is not home. For 4 or 5 hours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
I've always been leery of the 2000 degree shaker cans but admit to using them on occasion when I want piece of mind (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) You can always send them out for some real ceramic coating. Now THAT is piece of mind for hot stuff... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

They don't get THAT hot. I like powdercoat.

I powdercoated all of my hot air parts. No smell except for the first time, and that was idling in the driveway last fall.
Works like a charm. The new air duct hoses smelled the most. John |
