There are mixed reviews on the durability of powder on the LIM (some say it fails, and some say it holds up just fine), so I invite you to search through the forums to see what others have experienced. Good luck!

Hmmm, revvin hasn't posted in a while, that makes us doubt his credibility.
Anyway, I sent my exhaust manifold to a local shop to be ceramic coated inside and out. They have done rotary components before and are aware of the extreme heat produced by them. Of course, they did not disclose their exact procedure, but they did say that the manifold had to be prepped extensively then their coating is sprayed on and through the manifold. This method is preferred, they say, to dipping for complete coverage inside and out.
Any comments???

I know my 1st post shouldn't be in this one but I lurk here from time to time because I'm prob picking up a 87 FC. Ive been searching about the coolant seals going bad and ran across this post somehow.
It sparked my interest because I own CE COATINGS and Do Ceramic,Thermal and Powder Coatings. Along with being a Aviation Tech. I'm not here to sell my product etc. Matter of fact Who knows if I'll post anymore until I do pick up that 87 my buddy wants to sell.
I just wanted to totally agree with EVERYTHING saxyman990 had to say. I loved your "NICE WAY" of calling BS 1st.
Also anyone who wants to do the DIY coating PREP is your #1 priority. Some need baked,some don't. OUT GAS EVERYTHING that does need baked.
Tech Line makes great products thats who I use. Some you need to be a business to buy some you done. If anyone needs help,tips ,tricks,info etc feel free to e-mail me. I don't hide anything to say well I cant give you all my secrets like some companies do. There are TONS of people out there who can do coatings so why hide any info.
anyways I can't wait to get my hands on this rx7 here local and rebuild the thing. AWESOME SITE btw..

Pretty good first post Noob. 
There is a guy on here trying to do powdercoating for people that doesn't even know what degassing or outgassing is. I tried nicely explaining the procedure to him but instead of learning, he continued to pump out junk, half-coated parts. In the end sometimes you just have to be blunt with people for them to get the hint.
There are some people that really know their **** on these boards though, no matter what aspect of automotbile tech happens to be being discussed, so BS is eventually flagged. Great for consumers, bad for dishonest sellers!
I think the supplier of this misrepresented coating could still aquire business if he came back with the correct data (the factual figures look plenty good) and an apology.

I totally agree with everything you just said. I still learn new stuff all the time and Ive been coating for 6 years. Always find better products and different ways to do stuff....
I hate seeing JUNK work out there. because it make noobs to the field of coatings think its all junk.

DId you send it out to QC Coatings? I was planning on dropping off my manifold there sometime within the next week.
