I just got my intake manifold done. You can have it done in flat colors such as grey, blue, black, or red ( i think) but most people (such as myself) get it with the sterling option. it's a silver flake of some sort and gives the finish a polished SS look. Got to www.jet-hot.com and you should be able to get more info. next for me is the turbo manifold and the compressor

Jet-Hot coatings 3mm coatings cover critical engine and exhaust parts on military fighter jets.In general, the coatings reduces engine baytemps 50-70 degrees.....and coolant temps drop15-20 degrees...Jet-hot 2000, a coating that protects substrates up to 2,450 degrees F.... Increases high-temp fatigue resistance and no hydrogen embrittlement!!! All this info taken from Jet-Hot info pack...I'm sending off my SSDP tomorrow..no brainer.. Carter

looks nice
Put yourself a little clock in the middle and throw it on your desk.. If you don't want it on your desk then put it on ebay for a desk clock..I seen one go for $90 on ebay...

Ceramic coating comes from airplane industry and is used to keep the heat in the metal so the outside/ surface doesn´t get so hot...
And it definately does NOT look like chrome, more like subdued grey/white...
Shame on Kabooski...

I believe that the coating you´re talking about is a metal
alloy called nickel (not shure of english name...) wich makes the metal a gold/chrome look...
I believe this is used to prevent metal from rusting...

It just occured to me that if you ceramic coat the face of the rotor where it's exposed to the combustion process it should make it less likely for carbon to stick on the smooth surface, thus resulting in a lessor chance of detonating. Of course the thermo properties would help as well........
Just a thought...

Man.... guys are talkin smack when they don't really know what they're talking about....
Kabooski's pic is most likely a rotor coated with CermaKrome. Here is a link so you guys can check it out. It's a ceramic coating that looks just like chrome: http://www.capsbhc.com/coating1.htm
Give the poor guy some credit and ASK if you don't know; don't imply he's a liar.
IMO, the long term durability can only be determined by real world use/testing. As far as temp handling, I believe the CermaKrome is good for about 1300F. Just using common sense, not research, I doubt the rotors are reaching that high of a temp. If they were, the oil that is sprayed inside them would sizzle on contact. And the various springs used in the rotors would quickly lose their curve and go flat. So IMO, the only issue with doing this would be the various seal grooves getting filled in and causing clearance issues.

I was wondering if u can coat the surface while masking off the areas like the inside of the rotor and the grooves for the seals.
Would that reduce rotor temps and lower detonation risks?

I just got an email from Swain Technologies that might be of interest:
The most beneficial part to coat would be the rotor faces with he TBC thermal barrier which cost $150 for each rotor. Coating the rotor gears with a low friction coating can also help and that cost $75 a gear. The TBC on the rotor is the most beneficial thing to do, but if you were to do anything else inside the motor, the gears would be the thing to do.
On a rotary turbo, coating the manifold, hot side of the turbo and down pipe with our true ceramic thermal barrier is very effective.

Thanks.......... my theory might be right on with regards to coating the rotor face.
And Swain Tech has an impeccable reputation........... look at their track record.
To top that off, they do space shuttle ****........ needless to say I am impressed.
