Ceramic Coating Services

[Goin' Topless]

Hi, I'm a regular PY'er and also co-owner of Cool Concepts Performance Coatings, a ceramic and powder coating shop based in Iowa. We've been open for a year now, and are offering our services to you guys on PY.

Check out our website: www.coolconceptspc.com for further details.

Our ceramic coats have an effective heat range of 1600F - 2000F. That's metal surface temperature, not exhaust gas temperature.

We offer the following colors in ceramic:

Cermashine - 1600F. A shiny "chrome-like" coating.
Semi-Gloss Black - 2000F. Just like the name says.
Satin Black - 2000F. Very popular with the Harley crowd!
Titanium - 2000F. A light grey brand-new cast metal look.
Cast Iron Grey - 2000F. Standard iron grey, a little darker than Titanium.

All of our ceramic coats include an inner 2000F barrier as well. Prep is included in the prices below. Blasting of existing ceramic coats are outsourced for $40.

Pontiac V-8 headers (pair):
Cermashine - $225; Long Tube/Competition - $265
All others - $185; Long Tube/Competition - $225

Pontiac V-8 manifolds (pair):
Satin Black, Semi-Gloss Black, Cast Iron Grey and Titanium - $150

We've tested A LOT of different ceramics (and wasted a lot of money) and these are the ones that stand up to our standards, i.e. what we'd expect from someone else if we had to pay for it AND be happy enough with the work to put on our cars.

Average temp drop under the hood of a V-8 with ceramic coated headers is 130-200F.

Three Year Satisfaction Guarantee.

We also offer complete underhood ceramic/powdercoating packages starting at $395! Send in all your brackets, hood hinges, headers, etc. for one low price. Powdercoat suspension packages for pass. car, truck & 4x4, motorcycle ceramic/powder packages too!

PM me on here or through our website for additional questions.

do you offer any prep work as well? mine were ceramic coated but are peeling. im not sure if you followed the thread about ron and his tri-ys but these are a set of his headers. so im sure im on my own getting these redone! not sure why they are peeling. only 2 years old. bad prep? either way what would it cost? thanks - scott

Scott,

Existing ceramic coats are outsourced because they're so time consuming to blast off. We outsource them to a local blasting shop for an additional $40. He can do them in half the time that we can and he does beautiful work.

Cost: (outsourced blasting included)
$265/pair for the Cermashine (polished look)
$225/pair for Satin/Semi-Gloss Black, Titanium, Cast Iron Grey

If you want to see examples of the colors listed, check out our website.

Let me know if you have any more questions - Mike

I'd just like to say thanks to Mike and his crew for a outstanding job on my Hooker headers. Excellent guidance, service, communication, and product. I was also charged tax that was not needed and a refund check for the overcharge was included with my headers. Kudos for the honesty.Turnaround time was super. Highly recommended. John.

Thanks for the kind words, John! Everyone here appreciates it.

Just wanted to say thanks to those members who have given us a try and we are happy to hear all the good feedback we're getting!

We now have over 60 powder colors in stock as well as our line of ceramics. Semi-Gloss Black has replaced Satin Black due to quality issues, but the rest of our line is performing great!

Feel free to PM or call, (319) 540-1572 or (319) 540-1571, if you have any questions about colors or application. Advice is always free.
