ok fellows powder coater one time for all i want know
CAN YOU POWDER COAT HEADER WITH REGULAR POWDER
some people told me it was done before whit good results
friday i gonna have to pc smoke chrome over chrome on a muffler (vance and hine, is it the good spelling dohh)) and the protector part over the exhaust pipe
the protector part d ont touch the exhaust pipe so i guess no problemo but for the muffler im not sure
youre knowledge welcome

i have not tried it but would say no it wont work on the pipes. as for the slipon mufflers maybe but not the head pipes. as for the heat shields it should be ok. on my harley it gets hot enough to melt anything that touches the headpipe so i would say it is above 400 degrees and the regular powder would not hold up.

I can garante it won't work
I tried many times it will bubble up and peel off
in fact high temp powder is the only one that I have had good results with and not for a long time
normal temp on a harley bike is 600-700 riding it's higger
only ceramic coat will work
I've done heat covers with no problems

Has anyone tried coating the inside of a header with ceramic for the thermal barrier and regular powder on the outside? Still may not work... just a thought.

i did the job yesterday
i did the heat shield protector black smoke and the muffler whit black velvet high temp
the customer was very happy whit the look that give.
for the head pipe ,i did not pc it we decide to leave it chrome
thank for the infos you saved me a lot of problems

the customer came back yesterday whit the pipe
the pc on the heat protector was completely burn and peel off the pipe and the muffler bottom part look like it was muffler
the people at the bike shop did not leave an air gap between the pipe and the heat shield ? for the muffler i guess shooting right over chrome was not a good idea
the customer was in a good mood believe me
so i sandblasted all the parts and sand it whit 180 grit sand paper and shoot it high temp flat black asking him to make sure to leave an air gap between the part and build a custom protector for the bottom of the slip on
something like this ever happened to you, what you think gonna happen next
