Default What is the ceramic coating Wilson Custom Marine uses??

I know it is some type of ceramic coating that is sprayed on, but does anyone know specifically what it is? Somebody said they thought it might be one of Tech Line Coatings products: http://www.techlinecoatings.com/hi-p...ce/default.htm

I don't know what they use, but Airborne in East Hartford (now Central CT Coatings)has some
great stuff. I've used the ceramics on intakes and headers, and the powder on pulleys, chassis components, bell housings etc.

Eastern ct coatings has his own formula for the ceramic coating. Had him do a few turbos for my truck and the hot pipes. Held up ok with heat. He did offer to do it over for free when it discolored.

#6 lower I would not do with anything other than a anodizing if you insulate it might over heat and kill itself.
