Default Powder coating inlet

I have a hart inlet coming from sonic boom and I wondered it they can be powder coated and if so do you need to then machine any sealed faces or can you seal on to the powder coat....same goes for paint question?

Hi
They can be powder coated/painted mask any machined or gasket surfaces also best not to blast inside as when they get hot grit / bead etc can fall out pours into inlet
