Topic: Powdercoating flanges

[Powderman]

So is this a thread about exhaust flanges or a grammar lesson? Didn't realize that professional powder coaters also had advanced degrees in literature. This forum is an amazing source of undocumented secrets and knowledge.

Did I spell that right?

What is your input on exhaust flanges? The grammar in some of these posts make it mean the exact opposite of what the poster actually meant. So excuse me for trying to clear it up.

I like mine ceramic coated, thanks for asking. I have mine done in a polished chrome finish.

Actually, the posts were in passive voice. A completely acceptable form of posting questions and statements. The correct reply to his query would have been, "Yes, it would."  I'll grant you that passive voice is an awkward composition, and on a Flesch reading scale it would be low, but it's not improper English.

There were also missing letters to words in the post that made it harder to understand. Again, my mistake was not seeing the ? at the end of the sentence as I read it quickly.

Again, my mistake.

Fixed that for you. Nothing further needed to be said, except perhaps, "Apologies, Mike". Just a literary suggestion...

[MRieck]

An apology was posted....everything is cool gentlemen.

Linguo, the grammar correcting robot.

Why do they need coating?  I'm a simple soul and use Simonez High temperature aluminium paint (black or silver)  I copes with the high exhaust temperatures, and if cured correctly (250°C for 1.5 hours min in the oven - the wife gets furious!!) prior to use it is robust, oil/petrol proff and won't flake/allow corrosion.

I have several sets laying around that are rusted badly, and I have a couple sets on bikes that are starting to rust. I am almost at the point where I'm going to replace the 77-78s with DOHC flanges because they are aluminum and actually polish up nicely, but the earlier SOHCs have no equivalent, so I would like to find a solution to the whole problem before I start buying things.

As for grammar, depending on their usage or comprehension, sometimes it's hard to figure out what somebody is attempting to say. Personally, I make an effort because I prefer to be understood.

My main concerns are the negative affects of heat to the finish.

I'll work on my syntax.

How about starting right now? Does Jet Hot work or doesn't it?

I had my flanges Cerakoted along with my pipes. I do believe that powder-coating the flanges would work though, like you said I wouldn't use tumbler media though I would carefully blast them.
