Very nice!! i was hoping to find a good DIY on this ceramic coating. I was considering Jethot.com, but i still haven't priced it. luckily, i have everything i need except the thermal coating. parts washer, sand blaster, air brush equipment, garage oven

Just bought some (12oz), and plan on using it soon. Don't want my AC lines to fry on my new setup. As for EGT's, the gas is flowing fast enough where the bulk of it wouldn't disapate heat through a thick pipe before its already past the flex pipe. If there was a substantial amount of heat from the gasses put into the metal, it would be 800*+ as measured above, as well as heat up to that in just a few seconds.

I remember seeing some ceramic paint additive, basicly its reflecting heat. The ceramics they use are so good at it, they don't have to be thick at all. We're used to fiberglass strips that basicly put an air pocket between the heat and your finger, so it has to be thick.

make sure to give an update in a few weeks to see if anything is peeling or scratching off. This definitely sounds like something I would want to do.

Also did you sandblast it yourself or have a shop do it?

Yea I'll keep an eye on it. I sandblasted t myself at the shop where I help out at.

Hallo,

has someone have some long time experiences with that kind of coating?
does it resist and how is the look after a while of driving/racing?

Thanks and best regards

hows it holding up so far dunc?

I do that stuff at work every day. The turbo x black coating from techline is about the best i've found. It works best with the high temp clear coating. I do full exhausts in my oven at work. Good write up.

It's still on there and looking great! I think the main reason is like how the originator stated....sandblasting the material makes it stick much better. In fact, that is also printed on the can.

I'm about to coat the turbo's exhaust housing in my efforts to fight the coolant temps, so I'll post a picture with everything done and on the car when it's done.

so do the colorgard paints hold up to the same temps as the black satin??

anyone have any pics of the colorgard colors?

how would you guys say this would compare to heat wrapping a manifold/downpipe or charge piping?

very good write up. looks great under the hood.

.adam.

could you post up a pic after the chalkyness goes away? it looks like more of a flat black than a satin black

ok, i just ordered some sandblasting stuff from northern tool. I'm gonna go ahead and try the titanium on a cast manifold, so we'll see how it turns out.

orion840

here's some pics of a log mani w/ the titanium colorguard. i called techline and they say it performs same as the satin black.

That's what I was wondering. I like the idea of doing this, but I hate the look of the flat black coating. I didn't know how good the colorguard was because the website hypes up the satin black as being the best.

great write up

while this coating we're speaking of keeps heat in
there are different coatings that help dissipate heat, right?

i hope nobody uses this on their ic or anything on the intake side

how is the paint holding up?

Nice write up, I did sort of the same thing. I just took and nice sharp wire brush and got under the car and got off any surface rust that was forming, and then took high temp engine paint (up to 1,000 degrees) and sprayed the living **** out of everything around the hole pipe including the muffler and ESPECIALLY the welds. Works good thus far
