therse treatments are very popular in the US. most of the true Thermal Barrier Caotings (TBCs) tend to work pretty well. although some saythat a decent exhaust wrap is actually better from a heat point of view!

Chris.

Thermal wraps trap moisture against the headers and can cause them to rust out very quickly, a well done ceramic coating is awesome, I had a Cal-Mini ceramic coated header on my old Trooper and I could drive it 400 miles and after it sat for 5 minutes I could touch the header with my hand no problem.

You can buy it directly from Camcoat in half ltr tin size as a minimum purchase. Altogether including delivery and VAT i paid around £90. That's pretty good VFM baring in mind what you're getting.

Their number is on the frontpage of their website, and they also distribute through Demon Tweakes but it's a lot more expensive that way so i would go directly to Camcoat.

Edited to add: Even this Satin Black coating glows redhot under pressure, just very odd to see it go back to shiny black a short while after use.

Cheers , I'll give it a go, I've made stainless manifolds and exhaust for my car, was going to use the normal wrap but this looks better.

Got to do the same for mine very soon .. but although I like the look of this camcoat - I think I'm going to rely on exhaust wrap as mine will be very close to the glassfibre.. maybe internal coating would be a better option with external wrap.
