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.

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.
