Jet Coating Manifold

[Halon]

Does anyone know of anywhere local that does a decent job, for a decent price? Looking to get my new exhaust manifold coated in and out with some form of black heat coating.

I'm also looking at just purchasing some of Techline's coating and just doing it myself. Just seeing if anyone else out there has any other ideas or knows of some other options locally.



1) DIY Techline Coatings (4oz coverage ~ 2 small v8 headers)
- Satin Black - $19.95 (4oz.) $49.95 (12oz.)
- TurboX - $49.95 (8oz.)
2) FFPerformance (St. Paul)
- TurboX Manifold - $100 (+$30 to also do Turbo Exh Housing)
3) New Image Coatings (Circle Pines) - $xx

I have it on the hot side of my turbo, i took the car around the block and i could touch the turbo.
I could also tell the diff. under the hood (lift it up after driving and not as hot)
I will be getting everything else coated as soon as i can get some $$,

Hrm, I think there was a place up in the blaine or coon rapids area that would do it....or maybe it was forest lake. Try searching on here, I was asking about this a while ago. I had my stuff done through buschur, I believe it's Jet hot coating, but its shiny silver....

Brandon, you should buy the stuff and do it yourself! Then maybe I can have you do some more of my stuff..... :)

Time to pull the turbos apart again :)

Is this a good idea for all types of manifolds (like cast log-style)?

[Kracka]

Sure. Keeps the heat in and they won't get rusty.

Let me know who's doing it, I need to get my FP mani done this spring, that sucker's hot.

I just got ahold of Techline, and they sell to the public. They said that you just need to call their Texas office to order @ 1-972-775-6130 if anyone is interested. I'm looking into their Satin Black coating, which is supposed to be good up to 2000*F. Anyone have any idea what the manifolds get up to? I don't think my EGT's get that high, but does the manifold? They have another option called TurboX which is supposed to be for turbocharged applications. It's what I heard Boost Factory was using when they did it for people, but is significantly more expensive then the satin black.

I'd like to do it myself, but they say that you're supposed to blast it before you apply the coating, and I don't have a blaster. So I am going to try pricing out a couple places before I go and buy it myself.

Just left that FF place a message. I'll just update the first post with the different prices at different places I've found.

Your manifold won't get any hotter than your exhaust which really shouldn't be getting above 1600 degrees. My guess is that the manifold stays at least a few hundred degrees cooler than that.
