Patterned Muffers ?
I've never seen this done but does anyone know of a way to cover the muffler to make blend it nicer with the plane. For example, the tower .61/75 muffler appears smooth and cylindrical through the middle. It would be fun if I could cover it with a type of ultra/monocote to match the plane, if it did not melt off. I'm quit sure ultracote wont take the heat, but does anyone have an idea of something that might. High heat paint/BBQ paint may work, for strictly a solid but it would be great to find a patterned solution, that will not interfere with the heat dissapation. Is there a thin high heat shrink wrap, etc, etc. Any idea's

How badly do you want to do that? The Eastwood company sells a "home" powder coating kit that has just about any color you can imagine...Or, it seems to me that I read here on RCU somewhere about someone that sells an annodising kit? Or maybe that was some kind of plating, I don't remember exactly. Anyway, the Powder coating kit is over $100.00 (!) so you'd have to do a lot of mufflers, or maybe offer to do some of your buddys (for a mild fee of course
) Look in the "Yellow pages" maybe, for a metal treaters place in the area, they might be able to help ya out. Like I said tho, how badly do you really want it???
