Exhaust Coatings
So having sifted through countless pages online and searched on here and other forums I can't find any info on the best color to use for coating on exhaust headers and pipes.
I know the DKF GB pipes are a silver color after coating. What would ultimately be the best color for heat retention.?? Thanks

It has very little to do with colour.
A basic ceramic coating is long lasting but not great at heat retention. Since you are in Kitchener, checkout fireball coatings in Erin ON. Their XMC coating has great heat retention qualities. I used them to coat my rear cans in ceramic black & will be doing the XMC on my headers in a few weeks.

I have heard of Fireball.
During my search I also discovered a local heat treating company also does hi temp coatings I will contact them tomorrow and get some info. Funnily enough I use them for stress relieving but did not know they did coatings as well Quote:

The best stuff is the thick ceramic coatings that need to be applied with a plasma torch, afaik they are more effective than the thin regular coatings.
