What is ceramic coating?
Ceramic Coating is a finishing option for high heat applications that has practical use in automotive industry. Ceramic coating can help to lower temperatures in the engine bay as well as prevent corrosion on parts exposed to high temperatures. Due to the lower temperatures in the engine bay horsepower gains up to 5% are not uncommon. Our ceramic coatings can handle temperatures from 1600 to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, dependent upon the application. The lifetime of the parts ceramic coated are also increased due to the improved corrosion resistance and decreased stress from lower temperatures on the parts.

What parts is ceramic commonly used for?
Common parts that are ceramic coated are headers, exhaust manifolds, turbo housings, and exhaust piping. Ceramic coating is available in multiple colors. Our standard colors are Gloss Black, Satin Black, and Shiny Aluminum which can handle temperatures from 1600 to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Other colors are available and temperature ratings vary depending on the color. Anything that we ceramic coat is cleaned, media blasted, and coated inside and out in order to provide the maximum efficiency of the coating. After coated the part is allowed to air dry and then cured in our oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
