CermaKromeTM
 




"CermaKromeTM can take the heat and looks great.  Just take a look."
- The Cool Penguin

Want some bling?

With CermaKromeTM, you can achieve the look of highly-polished aluminum—with near-chrome-like shine.

CermaKromeTM will withstand 1300F base metal temperatures and have been tested up to 5000hrs of 5% salt spray for corrosion resistance.

  

Using CermaKromeTM, we can add some “bling” to nearly
any metal part...exhaust, suspension, valve covers, springs,
etc.

 

 

 

 


We can coat valve covers too.


CermaKromeTM is great for most exhaust
components.  It also looks great on parts that are
not intended for high heat.

 

 

 

 

Here’s a cool shot:  Both parts have been coated with CermaKromeTM.  Our polishing machine has polished the header.  In this shot, the valve cover hasn’t yet been placed into the polisher.


       








 


CermaKromeTM looks great on aluminum
turbo compressor housings. 

 

     

 

Many people purchase stainless steel headers for the clean look.  This is a set of stainless headers that have been installed on a vehicle for 1-year.  They are not too attractive, plus they do not have the thermal barrier performance benefits that ceramic coatings offer.

Notes on CermaKromeTM:

This coating can withstand extended base metal temperatures of up to 1300F.  Please ensure that your part’s base temperatures do not exceed this temperature.  CermaKromeTM is a metallic ceramic coating that contains aluminum.  The aluminum in the coating burns and will discolor and/or go flat at base temperatures over 1300F.  This will happen with any company offering ceramic-metallic coatings.

THINGS TO AVOID:

#1.  Installing coated headers on a new or newly rebuilt engine that hasn't yet been run. Run your engine, perform all tuning, and then have your headers coated. This prevents overheating of the headers due to improper tuning.

#2.  Extended "burn-outs"! Your headers will quickly overheat and permanent loss of shine and minor discoloration will likely occur. Do not abuse the investment you've made in coating your parts!

#3.  Ethanol fuels—adds oxygen to the fuel which causes increase exhaust gases that may rise above the limit of the coating.

#4  Poor Engine Tuning—Things like retarded ignition timing can cause extremely high exhaust temperatures.  Avoid running the  engine too rich or lean.  If you have a leaking intake, one cylinder may run very lean, causing one or other to burn too rich.

#5 The use of Nitrous Oxide is never recommended on CermaKromeTM as overheating will likely occur.

#6  Turbo or supercharger components—especially manifolds or turbo housings.  You will exceed the heat limits of CermaKromeTM on these parts.  We recommend our TurboX and Cast Iron Grey for these high heat components.

#7  Dynometer Testing:  Do your dyno tests prior to coating with CermaKromeTM.  You will most likely receive inadequate cooling (most use a fan in front of the radiator) during dyno cycles.

Any of the above actions will likely cause heat damage such as "hot spots" (indicated by the coating turning a dull grey color in certain areas) or at worst, cause total or partial delamination of the coating. COOL COAT INC. WILL NOT HONOR A WARRANTEE CLAIM OF ANY PART THAT HAS EVIDENCE OF OVERHEATING.

Costs for the recoating of previously ceramic-coated parts are the responsibility of the owner.

Note:  Treat parts coated in CermaKromeTM as you would any other polished aluminum part.  Don’t use alkali or acid-based cleaners as they will likely discolor and “etch” the finish, allowing the possibility of corrosion to set in.  Evidence of these products will also void your warrantee.

Most stains can be removed with non-abrasive aluminum metal polish, such as “Blue MagicTM.  More stubborn stains may be VERY lightly sanded with 800-grit sandpaper, then buffed out with an approved metal polish. Use this final method only as a last resort.
