How long will the coating last?

Depending on the coating, part life increases from two (2) to ten (10) times normal! In addition, coatings such as "CermaKrome™" can provide virtual lifetime protection against rust.

Is this Powder Coating?

NO! This process is Ceramic based and is designed for thermal management and friction management. Although it can be decorative in nature, it is primarily a functional coating designed to increase performance and durability of the part.

What parts should be treated?

Any part subject to heat damage, corrosion or abrasion. In addition, enhanced appearance is possible for parts such as headers, brackets, engine accessories and suspension pieces.

Will I see a change in temperature?

Parts will run cooler. Engine oil and water temperatures will show a temperature reduction. On headers, the radiated heat will be substantially reduced, leading to lower under-hood temperatures and less heat absorption by nearby parts and surfaces.

Are the headers coated inside and outside?

Yes, Because exhaust gases are so corrosive, we coat all headers and pipes inside and out for a complete barrier against corrosion. For this very reason it is important to follow all instructions enclosed with your coated parts to ensure against damaging the coating.

Can you coat Mufflers/Catalytic converters?

Yes. We can coat any surface that can be sandblasted and baked. By coating everything you can effectively insulate from your headers all the way to the tailpipe and ensure the best durability of your exhaust system. Catalytic converters will function even better because they rely on internal heat to do their job. By coating, you can reduce radiated heat and decrease emissions at the same time.

What other parts can you coat?

Any part that is metal, can be sandblasted and will resist 600 degrees can be coated. Just a few items that we commonly do are: brackets, alternator housings, springs, pulleys, fans, sway bars, A-arms, brake calipers/rotors, heat shields and many others.
