read that one more time, slowly. I said slowly. read it again. 5505C > 1510C, meaning sun is hotter by 3x, not the other way around.
negative, you added 0 makes that number...well, incorrect. Sun is between 4500 and 6000C
Also, your headers will not get to 1300C, they will get to 1300F. You can powdercoat your headers with a high temp powdercoat and it will hold up just fine. If you can powdercoat headers, you certainly can powdercoat exhaust tips.
you both have now lost credibility in this thread
so please, desist from cluttering further. That being said, I appreciate it not getting personal and you both being professional about it.
edit: just read the end of the thread, so much for my appreciation of keeping it not personal

Like i said, there is a silicone based powder that can withstand heat to around 1000F; but i have never seen, nor heard of, a powder capable of higher temperatures.

19,426(tig)/5,505(sun)=3.52879 so TIG burns 3.52879x hotter than the suns surface
And the sun is 5,505 °C not the wider range as noted by Hemi. I mean technically he is correct but this number is more accurate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun

Powdercoated, as I said, I am the one who referred him to the shop when he wanted it done. And no it is not ceramic coated or High temp silicon powder. It is powder coat and has been on there for just short of 2 years, and again is in perfect shape other than a little bit of dirt that cleans off easier than the paint on your pickup.

I dont remember how much it cost, but to put this whole entire debate to rest I did some research on it and the high heat powdercoating is possible, and got_hemi was partially right, as well as we were also, there is a high temperature powder coat that is silicone based, but it is still a powder coat, so his claim that it is not possible to powdercoat something that reaches high temperatures was wrong, but he was right with the part about the silicone. That is what my friend had done.
