White lightning is a real ceramic coating, and not a blend like most powder coaters use.
I've used wrap on mild steel headers with only some BBQ high temp paint, and they've lasted 5+ years and showed no sings of wear when I sold them off.
I also have done ceramic coating from www.performancecoatings.com with wrap on high HP rotary builds that showed zero signs of wear after years of daily driving in Seattle, of all places. |
fyi swaintech ceramic is only done on the outside. it's the paints that they will do both the inside and the outside. they also charge for multiple pieces ie. the JDL EL header is actually 2 pieces, so more $.
