Id rather have high temp paint than powdercoat.
Ceramic coat is the way to go.

So what makes a high temp paint any better than a high temp powdercaot? And as already pointed out, ceramic coating is just another type of powdercaoting.

the thickness and resistance to heat.
Powder bakes at 380 degrees and is roughly 3 mils thick.
Ceramic cures at 600+. Paint will withstand heat over 600 degrees too. Both lay less than 1mil.

All depends on how thick you apply the powder and what type of powder you use. Just because it bakes at 380 degrees during the application process doesn't mean it can't withstand more after it cures. Which is why you can do multilayer candy coating with powder. If the bottom layer would re-liquefy at the original bake temp, then you'd never be able to apply another coat on top of it, but you can.

expose some powder to header port heat. Let me know how it turns out.

Also... try to get a part ceramic coated after you powder coat it first. I guarantee the powder will burn off during the ceramic cure temp/process.
Bottom line...even cheap paint is better than powder on high temp parts.

If the coater is worth a shit, it doesn't matter what is on the part they will strip it before applying ceramic coat. All I said is ceramic coating is another form of powdercaoting. Didn't say you could ceramic coat over top of normal powdercoating. And they make "high temp" powdercoating that can withstand 1000+ degree temps that only bakes on at 450 degrees. Try knowing a thing or two about stuff before you spout off trying to sound like an expert or something.

lol... if you had 2 clues you'd know what the fuck your talking about.

I said for you to powdercoat one side of a piece... then try to ceramic coat the other. See what happens to the powder (even high heat bs powder)

The ceramic has the much high heat resistance. You think because you got some cheap powdercoat setup with an old junk yard oven that you are the Pope of Powdercoat. Got news for ya buster... you aint even qualified to sand blast...lol:funny:

So...... How much was the ceramic?

I did 2 sets of headers, the base of an intake, and 15" of tubing... was $600.
