This time around we are CERAKOTING IT ALL. turbos, both projects manifolds, and best of all we're doing it ourselves, relatively cheap in our garage. (only $120.00 if you already have a compressor)
Now the question is how do our results compare to paying up to 250.00 per manifold from a professional applicator? Let me know what you think in the comments below.

It's honestly really easy to do. I would recommend just using scotchbrite to scuff the surfaces. I shouldn't have wasted time with the sand blasting, just made a mess and wasn't worth the effort. Definitely give it a shot dude 👌

Yeah the bronze is my favorite so far, I kinda want something to go with the blue on my truck, but the bronze has kinda stuck, the bronze gives a custom look compared to chrome or black, any other color will come off tacky AF, we don't like tacky! I'm gonna do intake and valve covers, water pump etc... thought about doing a 2 tone on engine, bronze and maybe the satin black, the block is getting Chevy orange as of now, but that may change cause idk how well that will go with that bad ass bronze, may just do black and bronze just to get away from the old school orange, but I'm ol school and old habits are hard to break

Jesus man, you blow a mighty fine header pipe. You need to get one of those bagpipe man skirts and get on down to your local park and put on a show!! I wonder if it's possible to Skip the blasting and just clean up with Ass-a-tone? Maybe hand sand? Probably not. That blaster looks affordable but I wouldn't use it that much. Might have to find another use for it to justify purchasing. Do you think it would work well for back and pubic waxing?

@MatlasDI 9 ай бұрын

Honestly I wouldn't use the sand blaster again. Made a massive mess and I wound up hand scuffing them anyways in the end. Manscaping is probably a no, but might do good as an exfoliant for the lady. 😆 🤣 thanks for the comment man 🤙

They recommend blasting it if possible, but going on almost 2 years and I've had zero issues with any of these parts. No undershield on the car as well. The scotch bright worked well. If you have access to sand blasting or aluminum oxide blasting, then go that route, but at home methods for that make a massive mess..

How has the coating held up? Im curious how well it adheres without blasting.

@MatlasDI Жыл бұрын

I've been driving the legacy with the Tomei headers for about a year now. No issues. Coating still on there and still looking good. I recommend doing 5 to 8 coats as although it doesn't have issues flaking, if something scrapes it before it cures fully, you can scratch through it fairly easily. Aside from that, once on car and cured through a few heat cycles, they are durable and hold up well. 🤙

@toodanderson351 Жыл бұрын

@@MatlasDI good to hear. I'll be doing my headers using the same process for my c5z. Thanks.

@rgemail 2 ай бұрын

I'd be super cautious on any application that would see friction contact. Cerakote's instructions say the surface *must* be uniformly blasted with 100 grit garnet or aluminum oxide - suggesting chemical adhesion is not the product's strong suit. Even glass bead blasting is considered less than optimal. These headers were still borderline glossy-satin when sprayed. Good to know its held up regardless on a no-contact high heat application

@ubacow7109 Жыл бұрын

Is there a video on how the air cured ones hold up over time?

@MatlasDI Жыл бұрын

I don't have a particular video for it, but if prepped correctly, they shouldn't have any issues after application. They don't require reapplication or upkeep, but you do have to make sure to take proper time with prep and application, or you can have them adhere poorly. The set on both my legacy and outback still have full coverage and zero flaking, for example, and they were done in this video.
