Be Cool !! Ceramic coating significantly reduces the surface temp. of
Your exhaust components. Ever do any work on a hot engine?
If you happen to touch a hot ceramic coated exhaust part, you’re
A lot less likely to donate skin cells to your car’s engine décor.
Besides that, other parts that run in close proximity (i.e. Spark
Plug wiring, starters, oil pans, electrical connectors, fuel lines,
And especially engine sensors) will experience significantly less
Damage due to heat fatigue. Your other engine components and
Accessories will last longer also.
In fact, overall under-hood temps. WILL drop. In many cases,
This will reduce the amount of heat being sucked into your engine
Intake- *a secondary performance effect.
Summary: Take full advantage of that stock OR performance aftermarket
Exhaust or intake system.
Be Tough !! Today’s coatings are extremely durable. Depending on the specific
Coating, the process used, and the type of part coated, coated parts can
Experience added life spans of double to 10-times that of uncoated parts.
In normal use, one can expect near lifetime protection from rust and
Corrosion on exhaust parts coated by COOL COAT Inc.
Look Good !!! COOL COAT Inc. offers a vast variety of coating finishes to enhance
Your vehicles décor. We proudly offer coatings produced by Tech line coatings
Inc. THE major supplier of ceramic coatings to the performance market.
COOL COAT Inc. Can set you up with cermakrome , a highly-polished,
Near chrome-like finish that will not “blue” from exhaust heat like “socalled
Chrome plating.
We also have colored selections which include: Black, Blue, and Cast
Iron grey. -a grey finish that resembles the bare metal that your cast iron
THINGS TO AVOID:
#1. Installing coated headers on anew part or newly rebuilt engine that hasn’t yet been run. Run your engine, perform all tuning, and then have your headers coated. This prevents overheating of the headers due to improper tuning.
#2. Extended “burn-outs”! Your headers will quickly overheat and permanent loss of shine and minor discoloration will likely occur. Do not abuse the investment you’ve made in coating your parts!
#3. Ethanol fuels– adds oxygen to the fuel which causes increase exhaust gases that may rise above the limit of the ceramic coating.
#4. Poor engine tuning– Things like retarded ignition timing can cause extremely high exhaust temperatures. Avoid running the engine to rich or lean. If you have a leaking intake, one cylinder may run very lean, causing one or the other to burn to rich.
#5. The use of nitrous oxide is never recommended on Cermakrome as over heating will likely occur.
#6. Turbo or supercharged components– especially manifolds or turbo housings. You sill exceed the heat limits of Cermakrome on these parts. We recommend our TurboX and Cast iron grey for these high heat components.
#7. Dynometer Testing: Do your dyno tests prior to coating with Cermakrome. You will most likely receive inadequate cooling (most use a fan in front of the radiator) during dyno cycles.
Any of the above actions will likely cause heat damage such as “hot spots” (indicated by the coating turning a dull grey color in certain areas) or at worst, cause total or partial de-lamination of the coating. Cool Coat Inc. will not honor a warrantee claim of any part that has evidence of overheating.
Costs for the recoating of previously ceramic-coated parts are the responsibility of the owner.
NOTE: Treat parts coated in Cermakrome as you would any other polished aluminum part. Don’t use alkali or acid-based cleaners as they will likely discolor and “etch” the finish, allowing the possibility of corrosion to set in. Evedence of these products will also void your warrantee.
Care: Most stains can be removed with non-abrasive aluminum metal polish, such as “blue magic”. More stubborn stains may be VERY lightly sanded with 800-grit sandpaper, then buffed out with an approved metal polish. Use this final method only as a last resort.
