A note on Powdercoat. I bought a Stainless tip system when I bought mine, figured I could always have them coated black since we have access to powdercoat through my work without much hassle. After I realized I'd prefer the tips to match the valance, and the reduction of labor trying to keep the stainless clean, I had them powdercoated by a very reputable shop that we use frequently at work.

Bottom line...it can't handle the heat. It's already bubbling and wavy on the outermost tips and looks terrible. You can easily see where the extreme heat is pushing the coating right off damn near. If you want the tips black, ship them to Jet-Hot and have them coated, that's the boat I'm in currently.
