Default Mercruiser Engine Component Coatings

Hello,

Is the black coating a paint or powder coat or ? On the exhaust manifolds and risers?

Can they be powder coated? Will it hold up?

Would ceramic coating be better?

Thanks in advance?

Merc black engines exhaust is just painted. The Merc/Gil's were powdercoated.
Either one will hold up fine as long as they are prepped correctly.

+1 on what Griff said. Any coating is only as strong as its weakest link. Weakest link usually=poor prep.
