Just out of curiosity, what do you charge?

I can do a standard sized downpipe, turbine housing, and log manifold for ~$200.
Here's some stuff we did in blue.. http://www.zeropointindustries.net/g...1785.sized.jpg |

"yo, watch out for that dude with the paint flaking off his turbo. that's HARDCORE" |
I know this is an old post, but I am looking to coat my exhaust manifold and downpipe. I see they still sell this VHT flameproof stuff at autozone. Is this all I need, or do I need the cleaner and primer as well?

I can't see any paint lasting at all. Ceramic coat it if you want, or leave it bare.
|
the paint wont last. My last DP was painted in that black grill paint, burnt off after a while.

If you prep and follow the instructions for the VHT Flameproof (2000* I think) It will last. Mine has been just fine over a year with that.

Also, the happy search button revealed people doing this on the INSIDE of the header and downpipe. Anyone doing this? I really only want to coat the outside to keep it from looking so horrid, but if I can keep the coating and it won't instantly burn off, I might be interested in it. |
It's been about 2 years total, but it hasn't been running straight for 2 years..Irregardless it's tough stuff.

well I checked the local autozone and they only carry the 1200 degree stuff. Guess I will have to order the 2000 degree paint.
|
check out swaintech
that's the way to go, more pricey but well worth it. |
fyi ccoating a mani should run ~ 40-65$ depending on where ya go.
|
people on here said not to coat the inside incase it chips off, that would be a :nono:
|
I had the mani + turbine housing done in heat insulating HPC ... 6 years ago. Still good.
side note - was goofing around and saw zone 415 on the handcontroller y'day (ie rpm was <2000, boost >0psi !) so it's working well :D |
Hpc?
|
high performance coating
