My IC piping looks like garbage because of how dinged up it is and I was gonna take it and get a chrome powdercoat finish done when I took my valve cover. Is this stuff gonna last on IC piping or am I just wasting my time/money. I just dumped alot of money into building this engine and I want it to look good and continue looking good.

I believe powder coating is able to take a lot more heat than just regular paint. I think you should be fine...

I use engine paint and it holds up for forever. Powder coat should last you until you get rid of the car

I was going to use powder coat but had them ceramic coated instead -- they are looking good and cermaic lasts forever but costs a lot too....

BBE heat emitting coating is also a power move
