Tomorrow I'm going to cerakote the exhaust. First time trying this stuff.
 
They all look great!
What equipment are you using, & will the cerakote shoot from the same gun & bake the same?
Thanks!

Cerakote is sprayed as a liquid similar to ceramic (actually it is) then baked.
 
If you sprayed the bottom of the intake get some sand paper out and sand down the area that contacts the gaskets. I also had to make sure the holes where threaded. When the plugs were put in the powder coating left a ring at the top that made the bolts really hard to thread thru. That coating looks good.

The cerakote I'm going to use is the air dry type. It has to cure for 5 days. I have a hvlp spay gun for it.

The oven is just for coating and in my garage.

I plugged and masked the intake.
 
Damn that would have been awesome if you used your house oven. I'm a little disappointed:)
The parts look awesome!

Using the same oven that you cook food in is not advisable... Some powders smoke and all powders give off e-cap and other nasty's when they cure and will foul a oven pretty quick.
