Hi gang,

I thought I’d post a pic of some more coating that I’ve had done. The finish is great and big thanks go to Mark at Fireball for working on Saturday and getting my crap done.

In talking to Mark, he is also more than happy to offer discounts/savings to Son members looking to get stuff coated… so check out [www.fireballcoatings.com](http://www.fireballcoatings.com).

Looks Good, Though Should have Gone Black on the Manifold  
that Finish will Discolor and Flake on a Turbo Car, and Dan  
Please tell me that Valve Cover isn’t Ceramic Coated…

Nah – based on my EGT’s…that colour should hold up well. The silver is just on the outside…Mark laid a thick ID coat inside the manifold (and extra think, black thermal layer inside the runners) so I get the best of both worlds.

And the valve cover is ceramic… 🙂

I thought the same untill mine started to flake, TWICE!

I had brought it back to him three times to redo…

Hope you got better luck with it.

What are you going to do about your melted plastic one way valve inside the valve cover?

Thats awesome dude i’m absolutly loving your SR ventures!!!

I’m def gonna have some of this stuff done!

Is coating your intake manifold for looks or is it functional? I.e. is the air cooler inside the manifold or outside in that area of the engine bay?

If you guys want an amazing coating for your manifold contact me anytime…$200 , i can get it coated inside and out with a polish layer done on top. I had my manifold done, over 20 track days, and two summers have past and it still looks the same as it did the day i slapped it on…

Perhaps Varun should provide complimentary coating to ADAM’s header  
to test it out. :dunno:
