What
do I do to maintain the polish on CermaKrome?
Eagle One - the original
"never-dull" wadding polish.
How
long will the coating last?
Depending on the coating, part life increases
from two (2) to ten (10) times normal! In addition, coatings such as "CermaKrome"
can provide virtual lifetime protection against rust.
What is your guarantee?
Caps Brite Hot Coatings, Inc. warranties this process for a period of 1 year,
from original date of purchase, against rust and corrosion. This does not include
freight, strip charges, costs incurred during down time, removal or any replacement
costs. Failure to properly install and maintain product will void all warranties.
All warranty claims must be returned to Caps Brite Hot Coatings, Inc. for inspection,
along with a copy of the original invoice.
Is
this Powder Coating?
NO! This process
is Ceramic based and is designed for thermal management and friction management.
Although it can be decorative in nature, it is primarily a functional coating
designed to increase performance and durability of the part.
What parts should be treated?
Any part subject to heat damage, corrosion or abrasion. In addition, enhanced
appearance is possible for parts such as headers, brackets, engine accessories
and suspension pieces.
Will
I see a change in temperature?
Parts will run cooler. Engine oil and
water temperatures will show a temperature reduction. On headers, the radiated
heat will be substantially reduced, leading to lower under-hood temperatures and
less heat absorption by nearby parts and surfaces.
Are
the headers coated inside and outside?
Yes,
Because exhaust gases are so corrosive, we coat all headers and pipes inside and
out for a complete barrier against corrosion. For this very reason it is important
to follow all instructions enclosed with your coated parts to ensure against damaging
the coating.
Can
you coat Mufflers/Catalytic converters?
Yes.
We can coat any surface that can be sandblasted and baked. By coating everything
you can effectively insulate from your headers all the way to the tailpipe and
ensure the best durability of your exhaust system. Catalytic converters will function
even better because they rely on internal heat to do their job. By coating, you
can reduce radiated heat and decrease emissions at the same time.
What other parts can you coat?
Any part that is metal, can be sandblasted and will resist 600 degrees can be
coated. Just a few items that we commonly do are: brackets, alternator housings,
springs, pulleys, fans, sway bars, A-arms, brake calipers/rotors, heat shields
and many others.
