You guys bent everything out of proportion! I merely stated that my ceramic applications have always been good without any returns or complaints. I never said anything negative about stainless steel systems. Where in the below statement do I say anything negative about Stainless??? --------------------------------- > >I've been coating exhaust systems with Ceramic for about 4 years now and > >I've never had the report of a defect from my coatings process. > >No reports of rusty spots or ceramic material flaking off. > >Lots of these ceramic customers are local Porsche, Mustang, Firebird club > >members that I see many times during the year at club meetings and car > >shows. --------------------------------- I will say this about them now. I'm sure glad I don't have a warehouse full of that custom low volume stainless pipes tying up my operating capitol. You'd be surprised how much stainless I apply Ceramic Coating to. Stainless turns yellowish with high temp use on motorcycle pipes and I coat many of them in Satin Black or Cermakrome finish. The yellow in no way impairs the life of the stainless product.
