Default Re: Cerakote burning/flaking off??

Hey Bandit,

What did you use to blast the parts? Were they new or used parts?

I ask this because I had the same problem with a manifold I shot for one of my best customers. There was no burning, but it did flake off. I came to find out that he glass beaded the manifold. I used the same batch of chrome to do a set of headers that I cleaned myself with aluminum oxide and had no problems. Also if the parts are used and not properly cleaned on the inside you could run into problems with the coating lifting. What were the parts? One other problem I ran into was coating a pair of aluminized headers. The original coating prevented the ceramic from adhering to the pipes and the new coating just cracked and fell off . It took a while to figure out why but eventually I found it and corrected the problem.
