I'm sorry if this topic has been covered. I did a search and couldnt really find much. I'm trying to get my manifold, downpipe, and dump tubes coated while the car is apart and trying to get everyone's opinion on where to send them. Please let me know your experiences with everywhere and who you would recomend.

Thanks.

 

Swain tech, the best hands down.

 

glad you made this post I want to get all my new stuff coated as well

 

James Innes, IPG coatings!

my friend has exp with swain tech, and i have never had an issue with james at ipg, i think you cant go wrong with either.

 

Just went through IPG's site they are much more affordable than SwainTech, looks like I am getting a ton of stuff coated now

 

I go through a place out here in Socal!

Embee Coating. All of there work include inside and out.

For basically cheaper than local competitors.

 

Haven't checked pricing. Sounds good though! I will be checking these guys out. I agree you can't go wrong with either; though I haven't pulled my piston out since they were coated...LOL

 

James' stuff looks good for sure

I used airborne here in CT a few times, had great luck with them. Debating doing stuff on my car just for looks lol

 

i just noticed i suck at making the thread title lol


ive been talking with james

 

Where are these cats located? Is this where Tom worked?

 

James at IPG

 

Nah Tom worked for a really cool place unrelated to the coatings, that was all on the side

Airborne is now Central CT coatings, located in East Hartford behind the Lexus dealer right there on the river. Near XX tuning.

That pipe looks sweet

 

I used a local guy here in Phoenix, AZ off of Broadway and 32nd st...BAD *** WORK! Quick Turnaround family owned business and flawless work...call him! He did my manifold, downpipe and hotside all inside and out with the 2000deg black stuff! Great work!

His business name is New Custom Coatings and the dudes name is Bryan 480-201-7279 will post pics soon on a build thread.

 

i used a place called nitro plate i think it was under 200 for the manifold and turbo housing..

 

x2!! Its not as pretty but out performs anything else on the market for retaining heat.

 

Swaintech is the ONLY thing that will stay on on our Time Attack S2000 and it certainly sees abuse...2 weeks ago did 5 20 min sessions in 105 deg weather @ willow springs..

 

I know full-race dose coating dont think it is done in house but geoff is allways trying to help us racers out in any way he can. maybe try to contact them also.

 

I know exactly where it is then.... right next to where I got my Ducati. Thanks bro.

 

I have been meaning to use calico coatings for a manifold for a while. Maybe some would want to look into it.

 

This. You get what you pay for.
