I have a question about the pipes mating surface. I belive it was coated with a chrome or nickel finish where it mates with the cylinder port. Unfortunatley I needed it stripped to repair a crack in it, And the blaster took the mating suface off with the rest of the coating!
I am going to get this professionally ceramic coated with Ceramicoat when finished, and am wondering if that will be enough of a finish to be used as the coating for the mating surface. OR should I have the first few inches or so dipped in a chrome or nickel bath?
