Silencers can also be anodized if they're aluminum...just saying.

anodized blue would be siiiick. does anodized color fade from heat though? i remember seeing ATC70 silencer tips being bleached out from heat.

Buckeye--does the exhaust silencer get too hot for powdercoat? I was going to PC my raptor silencer and they advised against it as they felt it would get over 400 degrees and soften so I ceramic coated it. I have very very very little PC experience so I hope others chime in and let Buckeye know if its an issue or not.

Talked to shearer on Facebook he said he has been pc'ing silencers for a bit (2 years roughly) no issues at all. Said the pipe itself is a different story but pc'ing silencer is no big deal as far as longevity of the powder holding up.

You need to rivet it back together.
Or else it will explode.
