I may have a few manifolds that need pretty. They also need a few bungs welded up and I have a Y-pipe that needs less cat. I find it hard to wide band tune post cat… donno y I just ordered some Ceramichrome yesterday AM to try out on a honda DC header I have here collecting dust. Should be here thrusday so I want to coat it asap and see if it needs to be polished and if so how much of a pain in the ass that will be. So I can dial in my prices on high temp coating stuff. I can get a silver, flat black and a gloss black in high-temp powder. “Prolonged temps at 1200deg” its rated at. I want to coat the downpipe on my jetta with it so see what the heck it will do. **If someone has a beater with a easy to swap header or manifold, like a honda or something front exhaust, that wants a free coating to test it out with me I am up for it**. Bet your ass you will be signing a disclosure though! :hug I will buy materials and blast/coat it myself free of charge. I just ask that you run it for a while and report back & take before and after pics for me. PM me if your interested. Ceramic’s are rated @ 1600F. But are 3 times as expensive materials wise, and twice the work (un-polished) so labor goes up too. Those prices are TBD once I get to work with it and see how it goes. Same for a black or non-polished ceramic coating. It wont be free, but if someone wants a cheap ceramic job, you buy materials ($52 shipped i just paid) and I will do the labor for $50 UNPOLISHED. If you sign a disclosure saying you are testing it and I am not responsible for crappy results, or a fire or something crazy. :rofl > [@Beat, Contain, Destroy Forum Game](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/beat-contain-destroy-forum-game/48598/31): > > Id be interested in getting some headers done in the high temp stuff. also a manifold powder coated.

As in $1400 a pop for a dump truck bed, or $800 a dumpster… 10 times a day. Car chassis, and other big items. its costs more for them to bring the oven up to temp to cure a set of wheels than the what I charge to coat them! Hence the long turnarounds, and unsteady prices. Believe me, I did my research on my competitor, and I know many people who went/tried to go to them for work. They are industrial coaters, we are custom coaters. I wont feel bad taking their petty PC work, and they shouldn’t hate on me becasue I cant fit a dumpster in my oven! ---

Yea they do good work tho honestly but they told me $160 when I brought the calipers to them then when I picked them up they said $200 even. And they only take cash which allows them to change prices etc. And from my personal experience I felt like I was an “inconvenience” to them hence why I won’t be going back. I know calipers, headers, or other auto parts are not what they make there money on but still a customer is a customer. And I was kinda like WTF about it taking 3 weeks but whatever I guess ---

yeah exactly. Its not like they NEED the work like that… so in my book there is no harm in correctly telling a customer “I am sorry but we cant help you with your inquiry.” There is something to be said about honestly in my opinion. ---

thanks guys. thats why I want to just put a price sheet up. I have nothing to hide, always have been that way. For a place that big, to jack a price up 40% on a the spot for a customer is bullshit. Especially when that’s only is a $100 difference for a company that makes thousands in work a day there. Enough with the bashing, I dont need it… ill just let me results speak for itself, customer got all the pipes and intake on his WRX: ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/IMG_6510.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/IMG_6510.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/IMG_9271.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/IMG_9271.jpg) ---
