polak ·
how do you go with ceramic coating stainless? any issues with it? i would like to ceramic coat inside and outside of my extractors and exhaust.
coletrickle ·
hey polak no problems coating stainless it comes up real nice.
polak ·
whats your number? i think ill be going for that 😁
also do you guys prep all the pipes before the coating? as obviously there may be a few oil/heat stains or a couple of scratches from speedhumps.............
coletrickle ·
hey polak the pipes get 24hrs in a really strong caustic soda tank then baked at 300 degrees then blasted and coated.The coating is only 3/5 thou thick so if there is any scrapes with rough edges i'll give them a quick linish so the edges don't stick out.My number is 0416099372
Dasdubber ·

Whats your business called Cole? Ive had bearings, and pistons done by two diferent companies down south. Would be good if you could post up some pictures of your work too.
I must say I wasnt too impressed with the last lot of conrod bearings I had teflon coated. The coating was nice and even on the bearings, but the coating contained dust particles and were rough as hell. Lucky me I found out months after I had them done and cant remember who did the work for me.
I'll be after having a header and turbo exhaust housing ceramic coated soon. Do you do the extreme temp rated ceramics that survive turbo exhaust temperatures?
coletrickle ·
no business name i do subcontract work for a shop here in bris and its a bit slow so i'm chassing some work for my self.I'm a bit surprised at teflon coating on bearings never heard of that before the only coatings i see on bearings is the wettable coating the same as you see on piston skirts.With your turbo exhaust housing and header have you dynoed it yet i would recomend doing all your tuning first then coating it later the ceramachrome(chrome finish)is good for up to 1350degrees before discolouration of the chrome finish due to the high allimunium content in the coating it will go a slight yellowy/brown colour it still performs the same just not as pretty.There is also a 2000 degree black coating.for a while now i've been coating a lot of exhaust housings and the dump pipes for the turbo rotory guys in the chrome and it seems to stand up pretty well to racing conditions but dynos,breaking in cams on new motors and very lean conditions on start up will kill the shine in minutes.The exhaust on dak attack is some of my work i'll see if i can get some fotos up soon of pistons and other bits.

Col has done these for me and were perfect
The barrels have a heat dispersant on the outside that looks great, the pistons have been ceramic'd on the top and teflon'd on the skirts.
They also torque honed the cylinders to a beautiful 500g finish and they would be right up there for the best you can get.
