i'm actually interested in seeing if the can coat the rotor it's self...i mean if it increases the efficency of a piston mb it could improve the rotor as it has a wider surface that needs to be heated

I lifted this from their site, the chromex ones are 1300, so they would work on v8 headers orsoemthing, the satin finishes are the ones we are interested in:


Satin Ceramic Exhaust Coatings are the most advanced exhaust system coatings available. They are a very durable ceramic-reinforced coating available in various shades. When properly applied, it becomes the most effective thermal barrier coating available, increasing performance while extending component life, and has been tested to over 2000° F without lifting, cracking or flaking.

Tailights

I have some 81-85 style taillights. I have more 1st gen RX-7 parts than I will ever need, everything from window regulators to headlights, and enough good engine parts to build a couple of engines.

Performance Coatings was, I believe, originally started by a local rotary engine enthusiast. They did all sorts of work on coatings for engine internal parts, and I think they still do. Can't think of the guy's name, but he had a 1950 Chevy with a Turbo RX-7 motor.

These guys coated the exhaust headers on my V8 powered RX-7, good job, no complaints.
