Ceramic Coating
There are many applicators of ceramic coatings out there. You can have confidence in Classic Coatings to do a quality job for you. We are one of only a few Approved Applicators of ceramic coatings, and are ISO 9000 registered. This means that you are dealing with an applicator who knows what quality is and stands behind their work.
Ceramic Coating, is recommend for use on parts that are exposed to extremely
high temperatures such as headers or exhaust pipes, often referred to
as exhaust coating, header coating or high heat coating. Ceramic coatings
increase part longevity, reduces friction, produces more usable power
and protects parts from thermal fatigue. The coating is applied to both
the inside and outside of the part. Classic Coatings does not charge extra
for this inside coating like some companies do.
This durable ceramic coating runs between 2 and 4 mils thick and provides
a hard finish which is resistant to rust and chipping.
Ceramic coating can be applied over chrome, aluminum, carbon steel, stainless
steel or cast iron. Exhaust Coating options include:
We also offer Internal Engine Coatings which
is perfect for pistons.
Warranty Info
Classic Coatings offers a 1-year warranty for any used parts and a 3-year
warranty on new parts that we coat. This warranty includes labor
and materials to repair or replace the same coating that was originally
applied.
Temperature Extremes
Ceramic Coating is ideal for parts exposed to extreme temperatures (2,000°F)
such as headers, manifolds, turbo housings, intakes and brackets.
Exhaust Coating Options
 Polished
CermaKrome (MCX)
A very popular metallic ceramic exhaust coating, CermaKrome has an appealing
high-luster chrome look. It provides an extremely hard finish which is
not susceptible to rust or chipping and is is able to withstand temperatures
up to 1,300°F. MCX has been used in place of chrome applications in
such items as A-Arms, intakes, brackets, etc.
 Black
Satin
Tolerant of high temperature exposure, Black Satin has been tested at
temperatures over 2,000°F without any lifting or cracking of the ceramic
coating. Black Satin does not hold potentially damaging heat around the
part. Surface temperatures are actually reduced, lowering thermal fatigue
in the part which in turn, extends the life of the exhaust piece. Temperatures
under the hood are reduced which helps provide a cooler running engine
part. A two-layer coating is available for the ultimate performance.
 Cast
Iron Gray
This coating contains special high temperature pigments that have been
combined with the Black Satin resins to provide a color stable, thermal
barrier coating for exhaust systems. This is ideal for restoring manifolds
to a new cast iron look that needs virtually no maintenance. (This color
is not recommend for racing applications).
TLHB (Race Coat) is an internal exhaust
coating applied to the inside diameter of exhaust pipes for extra protection.
This coating aids in the acceleration of exhaust gas velocity which helps
reduce internal engine temperatures. TLHB also protects against thermal
fatigue and corrosion on the inside of the pipes.
Internal Engine Coatings
 Pistons
- Piston tops are coated with CBC2, a Ceramic Barrier Coating which provides
a layer of thermal protection to the piston tops. This highly polished
coating greatly increases part longevity as it reduces heat and detonation.
Reduces Friction
Piston Skirts coated with TLML, a dry film
lubricant, provides the piston with excellent lubricating qualities. TLML
will provide lubrication protection during momentary loss of oil film
and reduces friction.
