Dumb question, but can powdercoated items even stand the heat that the exhaust manifold headshield faces?

hey i beleive they should be able to withstand the heat, as the powder is usually baked on at about 400-450 plus i know many people have powdercoated valve covers so i am almost posotive its fine with the heat

I don’t think that the company near me can powder coat anything that gets over 450-500 they don’t powder coat headers but i could have them do my heat shield and I could bake it at home.....we have a few kilns that get over 2000 degrees......the owner wants me to start my own place and he would send all the exhaust powder coating to me.
Still here... sorta...

2 im not sure wat kinda powder coatin your talkin about when two different types of "paint" i think u meant powder.
i powdercoat stuff at my dads work a good amount and basically all i do is bead blast watever i wanna powder coat to make it a rough surface and clean one, then take it into the spraying booth and put it on a rack, pick up the powder gun spray the ish with the powder. move it to a rolling rack and slide that bish into the oven to cook for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees. its not really a hard process just pricey, i mean ive heard of people using home ovens to bake powdercoated stuff. but yea the thing your coatin needs to be grounded when spraying and then the powder is electrically charged to the piece your coating
