Subject:Exhaust Aluminizing ??

Remember the thread on exhaust parts and paint a while back?

I don't remember anyone mentioning the concept of Aluminizing.

        In my experience, the best treatment for steel exhaust parts is to
ALUMINIZE them (a hot aluminum plasma spray that leaves a
spattered-paint like texture) and then
powder coat over that. It�s bullet proof against rust, but aluminum is
soft so if it scrapes the
pavement, the coating�s gone. To find shops in your area, look in a
business to business phonebook
under �metal coatings.�

I lifted this quote from the archives at Westfalia.org

Anyone try this on a vehicle? thoughts/concerns???
