    This is a video from PBN Coatings in Germany, they coat a ton of Mclaren, Lambo, and Brabus parts with Glacier Black.

    Exhaust Painting - Whats the Best??

    Pre and post Sandblasting. One thing people seem to get wrong is, Cerakote remains a coating, it's not indestructible one of the toughest best coatings out there, but it remains a coating.

    Exhaust Painting - Whats the Best??

    Sorry, it's been a hectic few weeks, have around 8000 door lock parts to coat and it seems there is no end to it. Cerakote is very expensive to bring in, if you bring in one pint (473ml) on it's own it will be close to R5000.00. Obviously it works out cheaper if you bring in a lot of stock, but...

    People tend to forget how many variables there are, and it's VERY easy to get it wrong and VERY hard to get things right. Just think of all the different settings, Rebound, High Speed and low Speed Compression, Fork Angle/Fork Offset, Swingarm Length, Swing arm Pivot Point, Wheel Base, Engine...

    A classic mini clubman, and time on my hands.

    There aren't many of us in the Automotive side of things, I make less and spray more volume than the firearm guys, but they have other issues to deal with, gunsmithing and have a license etc etc. So a lot of them work out of a gunshop. I try to keep prices as low as possible even though it's a...

    Ha ha! Yes, you don't want this stuff in your oven that you cook in........also the fat vapour can ruin it.......much like your wife will ruin you. You can't get it locally, so you will have to import at about R2300 if you bring in 473ml So just shout if you ever want something done. Lekke

    As ek die verskil tussen powder en cerakote kan verduidelik is dit as volg........en altwee het sy plek. Powder is baie dik en sag, Cerakote is ultra dun en baie hard. Powder is so 'n 3H-4H Pencil hardness, Cerakote is 'n 9H Pencil hardness. Powder is so om en by 8-12 Mils dik en Cerakote is...

    @OomD Cerakote se weerstand teen petrol en ander goed is baie goed. Die prep werk is ook baie deeglik en is soos volg: 1. Was parte in degreaser 2. 1 Uur in Acetone op metale 3. Sanblast met 100/120 Grit Aluminium Oxide teen 80-100Psi 4. Raak glad nie weer van hier met kaal hande aan die part...
