Okay on my 73 2.0 resto I am wondering what to do for my HE. While some Stainless would be nice. My stock ones are in great shape. So I just want to make them look nice again. What do you guys recommend? What have you done with good results? Thought about Ceramic coating them but not even sure that would work.

To my earlier point here is some correspondence I got from Jet hot related to plating heater boxes:
QUOTE [for the heat exchangers] We do a thermal de-grease process and a media blast. We can only get to the outside only, and it would have to be in satin silver or a color. The reason why we can't do polish, is our vibe tank has tons of small ceramic beads that get stuck and tend to rattle after install. ASHLEY BARCZY Jet-Hot, High Performance Coatings In other words they cook any part they receive to burn off grease & contaminants then they blast them before coating. ...Just like any plater/powder coater worth their salt. The problem remains for OE mild steel HE's which are likely rusty inside the boxes, that de-grease process wont affect or remove that rust. Since the air path for the heated air includes those rusty pipes ..<insert coughing emoji> Pretty on the outside rusty on the inside. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
