Hi Peter

Good find, thats lots closer for me.

Steve

Hey fellas, does anyone here have an opinion on whether it is wise/financially expedient/smart etc to ceramic coat wheels?

Thinkin it would be a nice look on a set of widened stock steel wheels on my 65 project.

I cant really see the point except that i think the ceramic coating can be polished?

Owen

Perhaps you're right. I was just thinking of a cheaper way to brighten up some stock looking wheels without all that chroming hassle.

What happens to it if it isnt polished.

Old Hutcho

ps: Hope the exams went well. Spoke to Rod yesterday. Whenever you're ready with the seats. You can have mine anytime you want now.

strip your wheels and clear coat them in acrylic or 2pac ,much cheaper and ezier

Or powdercoat. Where is taren point? Anyone closer to me in the hills???

Matt

If you ceramic coat wheels they will just look like you have used a cheap can of chrome spray.
Cheap and nasty.
Check out the sprinstar wheels someone was trying to sell on here, looked terrible.

Fred

just manufactured a turbo system for a 60 model ghia . 1776cc engine . had all of the plumbing ceramic coated and it looks great , dont think that it would look very nice on the wheels though bob .

Matt, Taren Point is in the shire, dont take any Kebabs or Tabouli with you. There is a guy at Guilford who did some work for me, nice bloke but soemtimes he needed a hurry along, cant think of his name.

The guy in guilford is competition coatings . I have used him once and the service was the worst I have seen . Not only did he continually lie about having the goods finished , but he lost them for a week when they were sent to the incorrect customer . ( the complete turbo system for MANGO ) .
I then referred a customer to him and he lied to them for a further 2 weeks about having their goods ready , until the customer went to his workshop and found that the goods were not even started . DO NOT GET BURNT !! AVOID THIS BLOKE .
It is much easier and cheaper to send the goods to HPC Victoria . I am an agent for them and turn-around is less than 2 weeks , normally 10-12 days . call Wayne on 02-42725844 for delivery details and quality service .

what did they charge to coat your turbo headers, and is that how polished they are returned as I thought ceranic coating was a dull finish. any pitures of your 60 Ghia? and the completed turbo setup?

I'll second this, Competition Coatings strung me along for a few weeks, till I went and saw him.
In the end he delivered my parts personally and didn't charge me.....
I won't be using him again and I'll be taking my business elsewhere . He's not worth the hassle!!
Cheers

I had the complete exhaust system coated including muffler , inlet manifold and end castings , exhaust housing on turbo , and the lot cost $600 including freight . You can see by the detail in the pics how shiny the ceramic coated surfaces are .
