I’ve heard of good looking results with powder coating on dual snorkel air cleaners but I was wondering if the heat of the oven destroyed the diaphragm on the snorkel. Anyone?
375 to 425 deg F. Think that rubber inside will tolerate that temp?
That’s why I’m asking. I don’t think it’s a good idea but I’m sure someone has tried it.
May not totally wreck the rubber, but would guess to say would have a neg. effect (shrink it, or such). Best option is to paint those parts with wrinkle paint. Lowest temp I've used for powder coating is 375F, but believe 30 minutes. If you have a spare one, can bake it & see. If not, not worth the risk. I'd doubt it is ever exposed to those temps while in use. One of the pit-falls of P-C on cleaners with diaphragms.
