NC35 Exhaust powdercoat vs Chrome vs ceramic coat vs Paint
Hi all
I just had my rusted old falling apart exhaust sandblasted and it looks better than a brunette with double D`s
the question is I was under the impression that powder coating was the way to go and when i did some research i found that powder coating will melt under that type of heat.
Then thought ok lets chrome it that looks amazing but went for a quote the chap told me forget it its going to go blue and look tacky.
I then learnt that ceramic coating was the way to go
its so expensive its crazy I have a allowance i can spend on this rebuild and this will screw me for at least 2-3 months
Whats my options what do i do i cant lust leave it sandblasted forever and as i understand paint isnt an option even heat resistant paint(engin enamel) will peel near the heads
Please help i need answers
