The other problem with either ceramic or powder is the forethought to do it and the time it takes to get it done. If your doing the engine rebuild at night or weekends it's going to add quite a bit of time. Sandblasting and getting things off to the coater.

the economical decision to stop your vanagon from looking like that is to get a winter beater car and let the vanagon have a few months off. most people wouldn't be able to justify the cost of ceramic coating stuff to prevent corrosion. its hard enough to get them to spring for stainless fastners and lubing fastners up with anti-seize. it all adds up and they complain that your taking them to the cleaners because actual time was more than "book" time.
