    Paint stack vs. powder coating??

    Hey Yalll! Quick question. I really want to change the look of my chrome stack to a metallic purple. I also am wanting to paint my turbo, valve covers, and trac bars. Would my best option be power coating. Has anyone also done this and did it hold up to the egts? I know you can but high temp rattle can paint up to 1500 degrees. But poor color selection. Also heard about hydrodipping but also not certain it would hold up to the heat. What is yalls experience and or opinions?? Thanks

    You have to see what the temp ratings are on powder. If it were me, the powder would be preferred

    Stick with the powercoating, the hydro dipping is only good up to the 200 range
