Ive seen headers at car shows that look like the coating is dull and gray-looking near the top of the header. Why is that, and can your coatings do that?
The reason for this is that all metallic ceramic coatings that have polished aluminum to chrome finish have aluminum in the coating for the chrome look. Aluminum burns at 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit. That is why the metallic ceramic coatings are rated at 1,300 degrees. At 1,300 degrees, the aluminum in the coating burns and turns to a dull color. Yes, our metallic ceramic coatings, like all others, will go flat at over 1,300 degrees base metal temperature. We can also advise how to help avoid the problem from occurring.
