i wouldnt tig it, dc coats them with ceramic and its hard to puddle that crap since it contaminates the metal. i would mig weld it then have it recoated.

guess it depends on how well it was coated. the stuff i've been asked to fix there was no way to get the contamination out of the metal. it wasn't just on the surface, it was through out. :-/
