High Temp Ceramic powder

[lfsracing]

Just wondering does anyone know where to get some good high temp ceramic powder? Looking to coat some exhaust pieces and turbo pieces that can get really close to 1600 degrees. The current turbo setup on one of my cars puts out close to 1600 EGT's which is quite hot. I know they make stuff to do temps this hot and just don't want to risk coating something with the high temp powders that I seen on caswells site without knowing they will be able to handle it. Any help would be great. Hopefully this is something caswell would consider getting in as I need to order some things already so would just add this to my list.

Lorenzo,
There is no such thing as High Temp Ceramic Powder, the ceramic coat is a wet product. As RNMHRD said look for Tech line coatings, I use then all the time. You will need an oven that reaches a min temp of 500 degrees..

Never even seen those.... Just clicked on the link. Looking for more of a silver color though. If anyone has used any of these how did you apply them? I know the last one says to bake it at 500 for at least 1 hour. Anyways what did you use to coat the header spray it? etc? Any help would be great. I have a cheapo header I am going to probably use for testing purposes but I just want to make sure I do it right the stuff is kinda expensive to waste... Any help would be great as well. Also does anyone know if the High Temperature Powder For Headers & Exhaust Applications powders are like? Anyone use them? I have non turbo apps that I can probably use them on being they don't get so hot. But this was what kinda color I was wanting to use.

Here is a picture of my turbo that I had done when I bought it. I need to find something similar to this.

as far as my experience
high temp powder don't work on any kind of header they peel off after a couple uses
ceramic coatings is the way to go for headers

How does that stuff get applied? Any info would be great.

You're probably looking for our Chromex product, which is a ceramic coating that looks like chrome.

It's listed here: http://www.caswellplating.com/powder/ceramics.html

It's applied with an HVLP gun and is baked. Instructions are on the web page.

I wish it could hold up to 1600 degree temps though like the other stuff. How is the other stuff that I was told about get applied? Not the chromex stuff.
