351 Windsor Cast Headers — Shiny Aluminum Exhaust Coating
When headers are 40+ years old you can only imagine what they may look like. Cast headers are incredibly strong and offer good performance but they always leave a bit on the table in the looks department. This coating was done more for aesthetic appearances than performance but with any Performance Exhaust coating the performance aspect of the job is well valued as well. These headers are from a Ford 351 Windsor engine and we used 1600 Degree Shiny Aluminum Exhaust coating to bring a great new look.
The headers as they looked when the customer dropped them off. Solid headers but 40+ years of use have hurt them aesthetics wise.
These headers didn't offer the incredible transformation as other items after media blasting them but still gave us a fresh surface to apply the coating to.
The finished product offers great looks and performance versus their original appearance. Ready to be put onto the customers incredibly restored classic car.

Coated CP Pistons — Side Skirts and Domes
Piston coating is very popular among performance enthusiasts. Side Skirts are coated to reduce friction and offer better product durability through wear resistance. The Piston Domes are coated in order to reduce part temperatures and increase combustion chamber efficiency. The coatings can increase efficiency and ultimately help create more horsepower and torque.
We recently finished coating a set of CP Pistons for a customer. Using the Ceramic coating for the piston side skirts and a Thermal Barrier Coating for the piston domes you can follow along the pictures below to see the finished product.

Pistons are now prepped and ready for coating. We blast them with aluminum oxide at a low air pressure to avoid any damage but give the part a good surface for the coating to adhere to.
Finished product ready to ship to the customer. We can offer this service for all types of applications from a basic street engine to a wild 1000+ Horsepower race engine.
Blox Cast Iron Turbo Manifold — Chrome High Temp Ceramic Coating
Here we have a Blox Racing Cast Iron Turbo Manifold for the popular B Series Honda and Acura engines. We decided to coat this particular manifold with the Chrome Like High Temperature Ceramic Coating to show yet another avenue that is available for your high temperature exhaust coating needs. The chrome like shine that this coating offers makes it a perfect fit for show cars and race cars alike.
The popular chrome like finish has a 1300 Degree’s F Substrate Temperature heat resistance rating and a 2000 Degree’s F Environmental Temperature heat resistance. These ratings make this a suitable coating for the majority of popular naturally aspirated and turbocharged applications.
Follow the picture timeline below to see the steps involved in prepping and finishing an item.

Here is the manifold after we blasted it with 120 grit aluminum oxide in preparation for the coating to be applied.
After the final curing of 500 Degree's F for an hour in our oven this is what the manifold looks like, getting ready for the final step to bring the shine out.
There are several ways you can choose to bring the shine out of the coating after the curing process. In this application we choose to put the manifold back in the Blast Cabinet and go over it with Glass Bead at about 20 psi of pressure and here you see the final result.
