I know they're a half hour from me and do a lot of race team work.
One of the guys there did the one-lap-of-america. (FUN!)
They are SUPER nice, yet I have yet to find anyone here that has used their products/service/coatings... wish there was more user-info around.
I think they are useful coatings for die-hard competitive people and teams of course.
They have some pretty cool coatings.... I used the ceramic coat on my Apexi SS header (very nice coating) and they squeezed it into a race-team run to meet the promised deadline... I thought that was very nice of them.

Their stuff is not cheap at all so you better need that extra oomph badly before you throw down a couple hundred or more on motor coatings/brake coatings. From what I read in mags, they have the market almost cornered too, so they know their stuff and have the best products as well.
It would only help your NA setup of course, but it may add a lot of extra cost for the buildup. Did you talk to them yet? Richard Tucker is really cool there... Richard Tucker [swaintec@frontiernet.net]
