The polished Thermo Silver header coating is the most popular kind of coating on the market today. The Thermo Silver is used by more coating companies and manufacturers than any other header coating. This coating is extremely popular on exhaust systems, where their high luster finish provides a very attractive, durable surface. The high temperature characteristics of ceramics have been combined with metallic frits to create ma coating that can withstand metal temperatures in excess of 1300 degrees Fahrenheit. This unique coating is based on a water/solvent system, which requires careful attention to application procedures. The coating can be applied to a variety of surfaces and metals, such as: exhaust system components, brackets, valve covers, wheels, headers, hinges, grills, suspension parts or any other metal that can withstand the 500 degree Fahrenheit cure temperatures. The coating provide a chrome appearance that will not rust, and is effective as a hard protective coating for aluminum parts. Because water is the solvent, the baking process does not produce hazardous, smelly fumes, as do many other coating products. All tools can be easily cleaned up with warm water. This coating is a more attractive coating than is the black satin coating, but the black satin coating provides increased performance when compared to the polished silver coating.

The black satin coating is the most advanced coating process available. When properly applied it becomes the most effective thermal barrier available. The black satin coating increases performance, while extending component life. It has been tested to over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit without listing, cracking or flaking. In addition, as it cures in our 500 degree oven, a very effective corrosion inhibiting film is formed that protects the part against oxidation and provides excellent chemical resistance that further extends life and enhances appearance.
