Hpc Coating

[2BNVS]

im plannin on gettin my exhaust housing hpc coated just wondering where is good place to get it done in sydney/illawarra area and whats the rough prices?

also i have my exhaust manifold heat wrapped, would it be better to coat that as well? ( its a 6boost manifold, not stainless)

any help appreciated

cheers...ben.

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.

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

For your exhaust housing and manifold if coating inside make sure it's the black high temp stuff - or it will flake off.

yeah the black is double coated i think, it is supposed to withstand around 1000degrees C.

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...

has anyone heard or dealt with Competition Coatings in Sydney?

Roy has used them

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 the best place to get all this done and speak to the guys about the options is competition coatings, they are west sydney somewhere. have had a few mates use them.

the chrome-look on the pipes and compressor covers below is ceramic coating not chrome

the high temp black can be seen in the second pic

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?

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....
