Ceramic coated pedistal

Really neat Simon... I want to dress up my underhood some with painting/coating/powdercoating/something my valve covers, turbo pedestal, turbo piping, etc etc.
As far as stuff in a can, looks like that VHT stuff is the way to go? I just got in new uppipes today and want to coat them. Does anyone know where I can get that stuff?

Should be able to get it at one of your local parts stores. I personally use the VHT flameproof paint, it's good from 1300-2000 degrees. Seems to hold up better than the engine enamel. $.02
Yup was just on the manufacturer website looking at that stuff - Im going to check Kragen and Autozone today. Id like to do my valve covers, uppipes, exhaust manifolds, maybe a few other things.
I'm not sure if Autozone carries it but I know Checker/O'reillys does. I've ran this stuff quite a bit with zero issues.
Sure hope they have white
I've seen the white but never tried it. I think it comes in 12 or so colors.
I have played with a few and the only one that held up was something I got from work. It is for touching up turbine parts in the field. I forget what it was called but I looked into getting it but since it was industrial it was SUPER $$$$$$$$
What about flame spray coating? We use a stainless in or vessels and put it on 20 thousants coating. I seen they have a ceramic coating good for 3000 deg. It's a TeroDyn system 2000 machine.
You use them in pressure vessels? Sounds pretty cool
you need to spray the pistons with that stuff:hello:
FWIW Duplicolor and VHT are the same company now
I knew that. I called them about getting the old 1200* paint and they informed me they no longer make it because of the VHT line. I had my local NAPA get me 15 cans or so from all across the country.
