Default high heat powder coating

Hi was wondering i have a 2 into 1 exhaust and i want to get coated black and i cant find anyone here that does ceramic but some guys are saying high heat powder coating will be fine on a muffler?One guy i talked with said his powder is good to about 1200 degrees.Has any one powder coated their mufflers and how did they hold up?The guy said he can do it over chrome and i cant see how it would stick to chrome and he said no problem as long as it prepped properly?I thought you would need the chrome removed

I powder over Chrome all the time. Why couldn't you? As long as its good chrome, not pitted or flaking off. Ive had my exhaust powder coated for a couple years now, still looks good, but I baby it. High temp just seems to be a little thinner and more brittle, take care of it and you shouldn't have any issues.

Had my chrome fatshotz and heat shields ceramic coated black. Holding up well. Anyone that does powder should be able to do ceramic...

If you can't find a powder coating guy to do it, look in to those that do Cerakote for guns. We send out guns for this and they hold up real good and is made for the high heat.

you still can. i just took a green scotchpad to mine and then painted them with bbq black. the good part is that if it starts looking off, you can touch it up yourself.
