In the limited experiance I have with trying to get pipes coated, if they are used hardly anyone will do it. Atleast in San Diego. I was told by a few companies that once the pipes are used and have a carbon coating on the inside of the pipe, this will contaminate the vats of chemicals used for the coatings. I was also told the cleaning the pipes for a first quality finish is also very difficult and would not be happy with the results in the long run. I have not had much experiance but this is what I was told from a few different companies.

However, i know that you can get them powdercoated with a special powder that is good to about 1200° F. The problem is that there is a limited number of powder guys that do this since most powder coating places only need 400°F oven to heat standard powder to cure, the ceramic high temp type takes an oven that goes over 1200°F.
If anyone knows of someone that can powder the high temp stuff, I'd be glad to get some info!
Thanks!

I have ceramic-coated pipes and I don't like the appearance. So I did my own on the Pro Pipe using House of Kolor Hi-Temp satin black. It's a beautiful, smooth true satin finish that has been on for over a year now. You can see the difference in my gallery pics. Pro Pipe has my coating and the Fourbiddens have the chalky ceramic coating.
