WHAT ARE CERAMIC COATINGS?

Ceramic coatings can be used for any part that is subject to friction, heat , corrosion or abrasion. Headers, brackets, and suspension and most metals can be coated. Not only will your parts look good they will also perform better.

The coatings not only offer more performance but also increases gas milage The coatings can be applied to either reflect the heat or disperse the heat. You can make more efficient use of the burn process and save fuel. Coatings have been used in racing for decades to get that added edge over the competition.

Car builders use it for restorations because of it's chrome like appearance and rust resistance. It won't crack or peel like chrome and it very durable. There is a cast iron coating for stock exhaust manifolds that makes them look like new manifolds all the time. They won't rust after they are coated.

New coatings come in, black, white, stainless, blue and red. From airplanes boats to trucks there are many different uses. We will be adding do it yourself articles that will show you how to apply the coatings and the types that are available.

The coatings not only increase performance and reduce the heat under the hood but they look good and have amazing properties. A coated header can be cool to the touch minutes after you shut off the engine. Thermal barrier coatings for the inside of headers keep the heat in the exhaust to gain even more horsepower.

Coatings are available in different colors and textures. They can withstand very high temperatures over 1000 degrees and can disperse heat many times faster than bare metal.

Car show enthusiasts have used these coatings for coating aluminum wheels for the chrome like appearance. After spraying you can sand with 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper 1200 grit sandpaper, and then buff to a bright shine. Then polish with CERMGLOW. The coating also allows easy cleaning of brake dust buildup.

Race teams have found many uses for the coatings. Ceramic coatings can be used for the tops of pistons and as dry film lubricants for piston skirts. This reduces the drag and allows for greater performance. Valve guides valve stems, cylinder heads, combustion chambers, and most engine parts can be coated. The coating bonds to 40 microns.

Coating the combustion chamber surfaces will allow you to run less initial timing, less fuel, with more efficient oxidation. You should be able to run smaller jet sizes to. When you add all these increases together you will gain noticeable torque and H.P.

The best part about these coatings is the anti corrosion properties they have. Your exhaust system will last longer and can provide virtual lifetime protection against rust. If you have a boat the protection it offers against salt water is excellent.
