raz0r$harP.UK Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Previous manifold and and compressor cover were done by GCG...no idea on price as it was done by previous owner. Now have a manifold for a V6 being done by Competition Coatings in Guildford picking up end of the week. About $250.

Abo Bob Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I would think that as long as you are keeping the wrap on the manifold then no need to coat it as well but it certainly wont hurt.

DVS JEZ Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I would think that as long as you are keeping the wrap on the manifold then no need to coat it as well but it certainly wont hurt. my mate has just opened a shop and does ceramic coating, inside and out, he did my xspower manifold and rear turbo housing, he does a really good job, he is starting to do coloured coatings as well, i can ask him on prices for each part to be coated, he is on the central coast. cheers Jeremy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/150523-hpc-coating/#findComment-2804516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtst25 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 For your exhaust housing and manifold if coating inside make sure it's the black high temp stuff - or it will flake off.

DVS JEZ Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 yeah the black is double coated i think, it is supposed to withstand around 1000degrees C. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/150523-hpc-coating/#findComment-2805019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin 09 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I would stick to coating the outside of the exhaust cover and manifold... As much as they guarantee the material will stick to the metal, I have no doubt over time that it will delaminate from the part. I don't like the idea of little pieces of ceramic coating heading through my exhaust wheel...

NXTIME Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I have used them om my exhaust parts, although my engine isn't finished so I can't comment on durability etc. But the finish is pretty good.

2BNVS Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 hey mate they look awesome how much was it to do all that? Pm me if u prefer that... im thinkin bout just polishing my comp cover and coating the exhaust housing, but would it be worthwhile coating the comp cover instead too?

Roy Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I have used Competition Coatings and High Performance Coatings. HPC is better, though its quite a lot more expensive. Things liek manifold and exhaust housings/dump pipes will be past their best after about 12-18 months depending on the amount of driving you do (Satin black) Nothing lasts forever....
