Agreed. Check out their white lightning coating (great coating, questionable color). I haven't seen any colors other than white, medium grey, or flat black in any of the turbo-specific coatings, from any company (nice range of choices, huh?). There is much more variety in the slightly lower temp. header coatings though...

 

im getting my manifold and turbine done right now, i expect it back this weekend. im getting it done at rm finish line coatings over here in oregon. um as for a cost theyre doing my turbine for 75 which is kinda spendy but its 2000 degree black finish, and they are doing my manifold kinda a flat chrome finish, which is for 1300 degrees. they guarantee it their work, too, i know the 1300 degree manifold coating might not hold up but i have faith, they also say it will surely drop the temps 35%, but it could drop them up to 50%

Why didn't you get the 2000 degree stuff on both? Are you oing for the bling?

 

i didnt want a black manifold really, and im not too worried about the 1300 degree finish, i think it will hold up

 

I got my brand new revhard mani that has SwainTech coating, i actually like how it looks, not really familiar with any advantages tho, other than im hopin it doesnt turn that ugly *** rust color.
BTW i bought the mani new off a member with the coating already, so dont think i paid for it not knowing wat its for

 

cc will stop the rust so no worries

 

can we see some pics of the swain coatings and other coatings on manis and exhaust housings

Oh they do good work - I ran into a guy named Kip with an immaculate corrado four years back or so. Long story short this guy pulled off the road in downtown traffic WITH his girl patiently waiting to show me over his entire car, and all the different ceramic coatings he had used on various parts lol. Super nice guy, turned out he works for Finishline. Everything I've seen from them looked great.

 

oh yeah, talked to kip at the portland rod and custom show, ill post some pics as soon as i get the stuff back, should be saturday but theyre busy, you know

 

1300 &lt; 1800

Good luck...

This company sounds good though.

 

yeah they got a good rep here in oregon from what ive heard from some v-8 guys and stuff

 

I have used Finishline. Quality stuff.

 

I see you are in Lafayette, why not try Polymer Dynamics in Houston, TX. They have a special coating they use for headers and what not.
Check them out:

ill post pics of the mani up later on today after work.

 

We are using having Calico do all our coatings on our race car. They do really good stuff!

 

tony what they normally run on a full-race mani and the exhaust housing or should i do my mani and they the ones that will do my pistons too

 

So is any one company better than the others or are they pretty much the same? It seems like there are plenty of companies out there.. hpc, finishline, etc.? Anyone have any opinions or compared different companies? Thanks.
