Air-Dry Ceramic Coating With Cerakote 

I use a cheap kids tent to do my blasting in. You can shake the media down to one corner to collect when you need to and it stops a lot of the dust! Very cheap and a lot of room to move bits around in there.

Looks great!!

Nice video. I’m about to do a bike header in Glacier Black. Josh at PP/Cerakote told me that 000 SS wool would really make it shine. We’ll see. Nice job!

Just a few tips: Use garnet for blasting outside of a blast cabinet instead of aluminum oxide. It's far less dangerous. Protect your eyes with either. You can use degreaser instead of acetone to soak parts. Instead of just heating the welds, heat the whole pipe to try to out gas as much trapped oils as possible. Cerakote flexes a lot without any issues. No need to mask unless you just want to see some stainless showing for cosmetic purposes. You can use transfer grey to dissipate heat faster on the intake side of the turbo and plumbing, effectively increasing the intercooler size but don't get too carried away and blast the fins of the intercooler.

any idea if this sandblaster would work on chrome? im refurbishing an old motorcycle an have alot of chrome that i dont want and i love the look of cerakote

Question, headers and exhausts that come already ceramic coated I believe are coated on the inside and outside? If that’s true if diy just the outside won’t the inside surface metal get crazy hot? I know hotter means faster evacuation, but that heat concentration on the unprotected inside can’t be good for the metal? I read a comment somewhere that said too much heat can literally explode the metal from the inside. Can’t be good for a muffler either, especially a motorcycle muffler with just steel wool inside. I believe the ceramic on the outside is doing the opposite of dissipating heat, it’s actually acting like a shield and not allowing the heat to dissipate through the metal into the cooler air. That’s why it doesn’t feel as hot. But the inside I think is hot as hell, more so than normal. That’s why a coating on the inside is there on finished parts, the heat has no where to go but out. I’m interested to hear your or anyones thoughts on this. And if I’m right, how the hell do you diy a good coat on the inside of a long header or pipe? 🤔

Did you also heat wrap or left them as is? How was the heat reduction if any?

I recently put in a new radiator. 2001 grand cherokee laredo 4.0 6 cyl. I also put in new steel lines on the radiator, but I don't know which skinny rubber hose they connect back to . does it matter ( seems to me it does) so would the upper radiator line connect with the upper skinny hose on transmission line and lower line with lower? The trans oil cooler lines that are held in place much like a brake line that then has 2 skinny rubber hoses. Please reply Help a girl out

Looks great mate! Can I ask what sort of compressor you were using for blasting? I have a 50L 9.5 CFM compressor but I keep seeing sellers of blast media recommending that you require a minimum of 18 CFM for the media to work...

fantastic video, do you have a list of parts where i can buy?

Does it discolor when used? I noticed a lot of high temp paint and coating the color changes to black when it’s super hot like on headers

after 3 years how did this hold up on the hot side and in general? Is it as good as the industrial stuff?

Interested to see how these hold up. Up and running em hot yet? Gonna do my motorcycle exhaust next I think.

Any reduction on heat? I was thinking of doing my long tubes but wasn’t sure if it’s really worth it.

Maybe you covered it but why did you heat the welds with the torch prior to sandblast?

question after you sandblasted and you are wiping down the exhaust pipes before you spray product, is that red rag soaked in anything or are you just wiping the freshly sandblasted stuff with a dry rag?

Doesn't Cerakote recommend a .8 tip for that particular product?

how much temp could it bring down the parts with this coating?

Has the Cerracoat coating failed on the areas of your exhaust that get the hottest. After some heat cycles you may be able to scratch it off with your fingernail . How is it going so far

How much paint did you use for all of the exhaust parts?

How good does it stop heat? Does it block radiation (IR heat) or does it actually stop it to the touch and stop heat conduction?

hi mate didnt you have to degrease it soak it in acetone ?

How much cerakote did you use, does it seem to go a long way?

Heat reduction????

How well did this hold up? Asking this question now in 2022

How’s the air dry holding up one year on?

I thought it was H series that was air dry any ways how strong is that for AR 15

What color grey is that from cerakote? Number?

So you did the sand blasting to prepare the surface to remove all of the rust. I will be working on a brand new set of stainless steel headers. Do you think I should still sand blast or just brush with some scotch bright to roughen the surface? Thank you

Would anyone recommend HLVP or Airless for Cerakote? I want to try

What was the purpose of heating the welds with the propane torch?

so why'd you tape off the bellows?

Any updates temps etc?

basically you shot it in all directions, if you would have kept a straight flow, shoot all small and tight areas first, you would have had no orange peel.. before you start shooting Cerakote you should have used Acetone to wipe down all areas, blow it with the air hose to remove the media, then cerakoted the items...good luck

How is the durability of the C series?

Looks very nice! What Cerakote color did you use?

how is it holding up?

Was going to sub until I saw the LS…
