(06-01-2010, 08:14 AM)E300TSC Going back to the picture of the exhaust manifold in post #120, I remember you mentioning using a DIY ceramic coating somewhere. Did you go this route or did you have a company do the work?
I did not do the DIY this time. It holds up well, but I wanted a bit more "bling". I used a local company that basically does the same as jet coat, but calls it turbo hot. It was around $175.00 for manifold and turbo housing/waste gate adapter - The parts are coated inside and out.
The DIY stuff is from Techline coatings based in Texas, but they have a warehouse about 70 miles away from me.
