Kolb guys,
I recently responded to Ray's request regarding beautifying his exhaust. I also commented on a nice panel finish in the same email.
For some inexplicable reason I must have been kicked off the Kolb list, because my reply and a couple of new emails to this list have not ever been posted. I don't know why not.
So that I don't have to completely retype my reply to Ray, here is the "copied and pasted" message:
( I had to rejoin the Kolb list. Does that make me a new person? )
Mr. Ray,
I would suggest "cermacoating" your exhaust parts. It gives them a "polished aluminum look." From what I gather, it is essentially a metallic looking powder-coat paint finish, except maybe more heat resistant.I had an outfit named Performance Coatings do my GEO engine muffler/exhaust, and also my GlaStar header-style custom exhaust system (pipes). They charged me $60 complete, for the GEO exhaust muffler unit, and I believe $100, or there-abouts, for the Lycoming exhaust headers. And you don't do ANYTHING. They do it all....from cleaning the surface, coating, and then buffing them shiny. I was VERY satisfied with the price and the quality. Let me go see if I can find their phone number................back in a minute. I'm back. Here is the outfit I dealt with, although I see there are a couple of places named "Performance Coatings."

And while I'm at it, since I'm name-dropping here, someone asked about what to coat their panel with. I saw a couple of suggestions like krinkle paint, or laminate (plastic). Is anyone familiar with this process?? I saw them featured on "SPORT PILOT" TV show. Unbelievably beautiful work, but as you can imagine...not cheap.If nothing else, maybe, just maybe, an ingenious soul can duplicate their process on a small scale, for their own little flat panel surface. Anyway, it's just a suggestion.

BTW. It's nice when this forum isn't bothered by General Rancor. (No one particular in mind!!!)

Mike, don't forget that the cermacoating reduces the heat in the engine
area, plus help's the reburn in the exhast gases, plus the pipes cool twice
as fast as the other parts of the engine . I think it well worth the money
and they look great .I'll try to post pict. later Joe N101HD
