Message	I have the plenum off and I kinda want to get it powdercoated, but i called the local shop and they said that they can't do it because the plenum get's too hot and the powder won't hold. Is this true? I've seen many pictures of it so I know it's possible, but if the shop isn't just retarded and there is something special to it, what is special to it?
