[AJD] metal coating

[Michael Ostrander]

Eric-
Any idea what the thickness might measure out to?  This will be coating a
splined shaft within a splined shaft.  Price is not the primary concern.

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.
