Copper coolant pipes, powdercoat..?
When i made up my coolant system pipes i used copper pipe with the required tee's and reduecers soldered on, i then etch primered and sprayed
black, but when the engine gets upto temp the paint goes soft so is no good.
What surface coatings have other people used? will they powdercoat ok..?
many thanks

I left mine with the copper finish. They're just fine as they are.

Im going to polish mine.
That wont go soft! - It might taint a little, but thats about it. Might even get them Chromed, but we'll see.
