[AJD] metal coating

[Eric LaCruze]

I had my exhaust manifold powder coated black, with high-temp header 
coating. It's not on the tractor yet, but it stays on race car headers 
very well, doesn't rust, and has a nearly undetectable thickness.
I used a local place, but Jet-Hot has a worldwide reputation and I've 
never heard anything put praise for them. Warning, not cheap.
