If you are looking for headers to improve your vehicle’s performance, you may be wondering if ceramic coated headers are worth the money. Ceramic coating helps to improve the flow of exhaust gases and can reduce heat, which can lead to better performance. In addition, ceramic coating can help to protect headers from corrosion. While ceramic coated headers may cost more than uncoated headers, they may be worth the investment if you are looking for improved performance.
Ceramic coatings can be used on used exhaust systems, but the results will not be as effective as if the system was new. The ceramic coating will help to protect the metal from corrosion and heat, but it will not be able to repair any damage that has already been done to the system.
Yes, you can powder coat an exhaust. Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a dry powder. The powder is then cured under heat to form a hard, durable finish.
Ceramic coated headers are said to reduce heat by as much as 60 percent. This can be a significant reduction, especially in hot weather conditions or if your engine is located in a hot engine bay. The ceramic coating helps to reflect heat away from the header, which in turn helps to keep the engine cooler.

New Thermo Tec Thermotec Black Wrap Spray
$234
Coating was applied as directed and performed essentially as stated. There is a noticeable variation in temperature between the coated and uncoated portions of the wrap, which surprised me and worked better than I anticipated. The only issue I can see is how badly black will show mud and filth. For just that reason, silver would be a superior color. A better "match" would also be made with the polished SS exhaust piping. Consequently, four stars; five if silver had been used.surprised me by taking a little longer to "burn off" than anticipated and producing a lot of smoke. I was flagged down by three women who said my car was "on fire." What a hoot! Just that made the cost of the coating worthwhile.

The coating also works excellent as a paint directly on metal surfaces
Extend the life of wrap by protecting it from friction and seal the pores to minimize the penetration of harmful liquids

I installed the header after installing the titanium header wrap on my motorcycle, but I completely forgot about the header, wrap, and spray when I started the bike in the garage. WHOA! This bike was/is a project, and I killed every mosquito and bug flying or crawling around my garage in 2017, so I turned it off. In 2019, when the bike was finally built, I fired it up for the first time, and...smoke, smoke, smoke!Until it is completely cured, this material is guaranteed to smoke!Now it appears to have been freshly applied, precisely like in 2017...It did burn off on the x-over tubes that weren't encased in "bare metal," but because the radiator covers it, I'm okay with that.However, I wouldn't use it on bare metal again.

Simply put, "awesome." What a product, so simple to apply with a roller as well as a brush. We have experienced both severe rain while sitting and driving my RV, and we are both bone dry. The water that collects for hours around the AC compressor when it is running also dries quickly and looks crisp. It doesn't get any better than this, especially since the brilliant white color plainly keeps our RV cooler on hot days. The original AC is still in our RV, which is 31 years old. I wish I had discovered this item five years ago.I recently utilized this product for the second time, which is my second review. Now 34 years old, our RV. It went on for four years. I'm not guaranteeing that it will survive that long for everyone, but at the tail end of last year's camping season in the fall, I eventually had water leaking in. Some of the comments below criticize the positive assessments, as I can see. Why would I publish a false review? As if messing with people is the best I can do with my time? Please. Once more, the product doesn't require mixing. I used a brush to apply it around the borders and vents, a small smooth roller to apply it underneath the AC condenser, which is really tough to access, and a standard paint brush roller to apply it to the rest of the roof. Regardless of the approach I take, it is quite simple to apply. After it dried, yesterday's day and night of heavy rain. My RV's interior is bone-dry and the roof looks fantastic, being a brilliant white color. This is a fantastic product, one that I will continue to use and advocate for. One more thing. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

Thermo-Tec spray-on glue is the subject of this review.I purchased this to fix a cloth panel that came loose after having the interior of my Honda CRV cleaned at a nearby vehicle wash.I had never used this particular brand of spray adhesive so I wasn't sure what to expect. The adhesive is sprayed out of the nozzle more like a stream than a spray. Depending on what you are attempting to adhere to, that works out pretty nicely. In contrast to a wider, more varied spray pattern, it made it easier for me to locate the adhesive.As I demonstrate in my video review, I also used this on some foam. I wasn't sure how well it would work on the foam, but it did rather nicely. I sprayed it on both parts very liberally and, as directed, allowed them to become tacky before joining them.Despite being in a well-ventilated area, this substance gave me a headache because it is quite volatile. Because the fumes are so bad, be sure not to use this in a closed area.To remove glue from the nozzle after use, hold the can upside down and spray for 2 to 4 seconds. Although I haven't tried it yet, if the nozzle becomes blocked, it can reportedly be cleaned with a solvent.

10 year warranty premium Acrylic white roof coating

I purchased this to cover a cargo trailer that I turned into a covert RV's single-piece metal roof. Since rain on bare metal rattles like a machine cannon, I really needed something to lessen that. It does this, but not to the extent I had hoped. In addition, I found other gaps at the edges that I had sealed but hadn't seen before. My trailer is now leak-free and a little bit quieter.With a roller, it went on quite effortlessly. My 6x12 trailer received two coatings, with some extra. It healed to a non-tacky state after around two hours at a temperature of 60 to 65 degrees. Before putting on the second coat, I waited the entire night.This was one of my more affordable choices, and I can't think of a more expensive product delivering a better outcome.

I thought I needed this stuff back in May 2015 when I bought 2 gallons of it, but I didn't get around to putting the new roof fittings on our 1973 23-foot Holiday Rambler (AC, new fan in bathroom, new vent). This is the first time the roof has ever been sealed, based on appearances. One gallon covered the trailer's half with a thick covering. I'm hoping the second gallon will be finished over the weekend. To be safe, I'll get another gallon, but thus far, I really like it! The first coat will be brushed on, and the second will be rolled on purely for aesthetic purposes.I had a downpour before and after covering the roof, which was fortunate for me. In fact, I did locate a leak that required additional care. I cleaned the roof, dried it off, and started sealing it. I'll start with my brush once more and give the screw, vent, and other exposed parts a thick, even layer. I used a paint roller to apply two healthy coats of paint, covering the entire roof. Turn off the air conditioner before using this item because it dissolves in water. LOL. The trailer no longer leaks at all inside thanks to a good heavy rain I got a few days after the last coat had had time to cure. The bright white will help keep the temperature down while making my camper appear much younger than it actually is.

Appear to be decent material. I put it on the aluminum RV roof to reflect heat. relatively quickly rolled on. requires a lot of stirring and blending. I didn't give it five stars because I'm still unsure of whether it will keep my RV cooler as promised. If I can prove it has a positive impact, I'll raise my score.
Ceramic coated headers are often used to improve the performance and longevity of automotive exhaust systems. Though they are more resistant to corrosion and heat than uncoated headers, it is still necessary to wrap them in order to protect them from the extreme temperatures generated by the engine.
Cerakote is a type of ceramic coating that is often used on firearms in order to protect them from the elements and wear and tear. Cerakote is also said to be more resistant to heat than other types of finishes.
If you are looking to protect your exhaust from mild steel, there are a few things you can do. One is to make sure that your exhaust is made of stainless steel. This will help to resist rust and corrosion. Another option is to coat your exhaust with a rust-resistant coating. This will help to create a barrier between the metal and the elements.
It typically takes around 2 hours to ceramic coat an exhaust. This process involves cleaning the exhaust, applying the coating, and curing the coating.
Jet Hot coatings are designed to last the lifetime of your vehicle with proper care. The high-temperature resistant coatings will not chip, flake, or peel under normal conditions.
Cerakote is a ceramic coating that can be applied to exhaust systems to improve their appearance and durability. The cost of Cerakoting an exhaust system will vary depending on the size and type of exhaust, as well as the company you choose to do the work. Expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $1000 for a professional Cerakote job.
