Anyone have good instruction on Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic Coating
- Thread starter Lextreme II
- Start date
The 1UZFE EGR Delete Kit is available for sale here.
The stuff from columbia is quoted as being able to "partial cure" in the over at 500, or you can just run the parts on the car and that will cure them. It didn't seem to get liquid at all when I baked it either. Its also less shiny than that, and rated to 2000. I sold the turbo/02 housing, ect that I did from my first batch, so I'll have to wait untill I do some headers or some thing for the lex to see how it stands up to real world.

Ok,
Got back from my two weeks vacation and back to work after few hours of sleeping. When I arrived home last night, all of my supplies and equipment for ceramic coating arrived too. Here are some pictures of pre and post. Remember this is my first time and I missed few spots but with little more practice, I am very confident that I will mast this.
I was hoping for matt black, but this ceramic coat has slight shin to it. I got the highest temperature rating from Tech Line (Turbo X). This version is double the price and it is good for 1,800+ degree.

The curing process I was told by the maker of this product is to bake the coated headers at 550 Degree F for 60 minutes. However, I am not sure the ceramic property of withstanding 1,800+ degrees after it is cured.
