So i went to my local powder coater the other day to get my synapse charge piping that i bought from a friend powdercoated gloss black to match my intake. He said that because of the heat of the turbo it gets too hot and would peel or flake off. So with that being said, would it be best to prime it and just paint it gloss black instead?? Thanks

 

They should be able to order high temp powder....

Scroll half way down the page... they warrenty up to 1000F

 

thats what i was hoping for but the manager/owner basically said the only thing i could do is ceramic coat it. Also how does Hahn, Synapse, CIA and all the companies that make charge piping get theres black??

 

all the companies that sell it black.. powder it black..

they guys are full of ****.. however

that being said .. I'm using ceramic coat on my piping and using ceramic clear coat on it .. so

people have done that on their blowers and it's stayed in tacked turbos DO get hotter but you're not painting the turbo lol

 

Yea, i just didnt know if i could paint it though?? would the paint hold up or look like ass?

 

i do powdercoating on the side and yes you can get powder for up to 1400 degrees. i would not paint because it may peal off. powdercoat FTW

i have powdercoated turbo housings and they held up. so the pipes shouldn't be a problem.

 

cool, where in MA are you located?? and how much for the piping??

 

im in worcester county. id have to get back to you on pricing. pm me also heres a pic of my SC coated

sooooo 1k engine enamel wont hold up to heat of piping yea ok lol when prepped right it'll work man
like i said if people can paint their SC's then you can paint your piping

 

Only thing I would be worried about with the painting is that the pipe goes from really cold, to really hot back to really cold.... paint may release from the pipe and flake off. If the paint doesn't have a good bond to the piping... he's SOL.

Get it powdered! Speak to someone else who knows what they are doing.

 

Yea, i really dont want to paint it. theres a poweder coated in West Milford, NJ about 15 mins from my house. im gunna go there on monday

 

tell me how much they charge lol

 

no problem, im not paying anymore than say $70
