Sorry guys I suck. My exhaust isn't ready on time.
I promise I'll get on it. I don't think it will take more than a few days. I'll keep you informed as I am informed. My camera is ready, but some pieces from the exhaust are not back yet from being powdercoated. they usually anidize them, but I requested powdercoating. I think at the latest it will be thursday.
go ahead and talk shit.

I heard you can't powdercoat an exhaust because of the heat. Is this a new process?

I haven't done it or seen it done personally, but when I got my D&D system, they said that they PC stuff regularly. Their PC is satin black and it may even have some ceramic content... maybe that helps?

What is powder coating?
Powder coating is by far the youngest of the surface finishing techniques in common use today. It was first used in Australia about 1967.
Powder coating is the technique of applying dry paint to a part. The final cured coating is the same as a 2-pack wet paint. In normal wet painting such as house paints, the solids are in suspension in a liquid carrier, which must evaporate before the solid paint coating is produced.
In powder coating, the powdered paint may be applied by either of two techniques.
The item is lowered into a fluidised bed of the powder, which may or may not be electrostatically charged, or
The powdered paint is electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the part.
The part is then placed in an oven and the powder particles melt and coalesce to form a continuous film.
There are two main types of powder available to the surface finisher:
Thermoplastic powders that will remelt when heated, and
Thermosetting powders that will not remelt upon reheating. During the curing process (in the oven) a chemical cross-linking reaction is triggered at the curing temperature and it is this chemical reaction which gives the powder coating many of its desirable properties.
The powder is applied with an electrostatic spray gun to a part that is at earth (or ground) potential.
Before the powder is sent to the gun it is fluidised:
to separate the individual grains of powder and so improve the electrostatic charge that can be applied to the powder and
so that the powder flows more easily to the gun.
Because the powder particles are electrostatically charged, the powder wraps around to the back of the part as it passes by towards the air offtake system. By collecting the powder, which passes by the job, and filtering it, the efficiency of the process can be increased to 95% material usage.
The powder will remain attached to the part as long as some of the electrostatic charge remains on the powder. To obtain the final solid, tough, abrasion resistant coating the powder coated items are placed in an oven and heated to temperatures that range from 160 to 210 degrees C (depending on the powder).
Under the influence of heat a thermosetting powder goes through 4 stages to full cure.
MELT, FLOW, GEL, CURE
The final coating is continuous and will vary from high gloss to flat matt depending on the design of the powder by the supplier.
Powder coating guns
There are at east three types of electrostatic guns in use:
Corona charging guns where electric power is used to generate the electrostatic charge. Corona guns are either internal or external charging.
Tribo charging guns where the electrostatic charge is generated by friction between the powder and the gun barrel.
"Bell" charging guns where the powder is charged by being "flung" from the perimeter of the "bell"
Not all powder is applied using guns. One system makes use of electrostatic tunnels.
How is colour introduced?
Colour is added to powder coatings during the manufacturing process, ie before the powder reaches the powder coater. There is little that can be done to change the colour consistently, once the powder leaves the manufacturing plant.
Why powder coat?
Powder coating produces a high specification coating which is relatively hard, abrasion resistant (depending on the specification) and tough. Thin powder coatings can be bent but this is not recommended for exterior applications.
The choice of colours and finishes is almost limitless, if you have the time and money to have the powder produced by the powder manufacturer.
Powder coatings can be applied over a wide range of thickness. The new Australian Standard, "AS/NZS 4506 - Thermoset powder coatings", will recommend 25 micron minimum for mild interior applications and up to 60 micron minimum for exterior applications. Care must be exercised when quoting minimum thickness because some powder will not give "coverage" below 60 or even 80 micron. "Coverage" is the ability to cover the colour of the metal with the powder. Some of the white colours require about 75 micron to give full "coverage". One of the orange colours must be applied at 80 micron.
Colour matching is quite acceptable batch to batch.

Make sure that you use Thermo setting powder and even then header pipes can glow red under hard use. That would indcate at least 900 Degrees F. I believe that is why it is not done.. Hope it works out for ya

the can is a black chrome, and the end cap, bracket, and fitting are to be powdercoated black. Thats what I was told. they tried to anidize them, but had burn and color problems.
