NC35 Exhaust powdercoat vs Chrome vs ceramic coat vs Paint

Post by Mavirick » Tue May 29, 2012 2:52 pm

Hi all

I just had my rusted old falling apart exhaust sandblasted and it looks better than a brunette with double D`s

the question is I was under the impression that powder coating was the way to go and when i did some research i found that powder coating will melt under that type of heat.

Then thought ok lets chrome it that looks amazing but went for a quote the chap told me forget it its going to go blue and look tacky.

I then learnt that ceramic coating was the way to go :mad: its so expensive its crazy I have a allowance i can spend on this rebuild and this will screw me for at least 2-3 months

Whats my options what do i do i cant lust leave it sandblasted forever and as i understand paint isnt an option even heat resistant paint(engin enamel) will peel near the heads

Please help i need answers :cry:

have a look on the caswell europe site for ceraminc coating and paints.
Or POR20 exhaust paint which buffs up quite nice
