ceramic coated headers

[forestb]

Does anybody have any recommendations for a place near Burbank CA that will ceramic coat my headers?

Try calling Ultramet in Pacoima

You can DIY if you have a big enough 500F oven.
Ceramic coating is very strong.
Great for coating headers and other small parts.
Can polish to high sheen w/ elbow grease.
I just polish in media blaster because it is very quick and easy; leaves a satin finish.

Who ever coats them, make sure they are properly prepped because it is a very difficult coating to remove and redo.

So is what you are doing in the oven, ceramic or powder coating? Is it applied the same way and then baked on?

It is ceramic coating.
Cost about $20 per bottle.
One bottle will coat two headers and several small parts.
Applied w/ paint gun; used small tip size because it is thin.
Sprays out nice.
Coating is very weak until cooked.

I don't have powder coating system but hope to one day.

There is Cap's up in Fresno. I had a couple of stock manifolds ceramic coated in a Cermachrome finish and it ran me about $180 for both.
