What advantage is there in coating parts ?

Powder Coating offers the consumer a superior finish while adding many performance properties such as excellent resistance to corrosion, heat, impact, abrasion, UV rays and extreme weather conditions. Along with great visual impact in the appearance department.

Dry film lubricants reduce friction between sliding parts, allowing more power to be transmitted to the  wheels.  Reducing friction also dramatically increases part life and reliability.  Most common applications are  piston skirts, bearings, gears, valve springs…………..


Thermal barriers decrease the amount of heat that is absorbed into a part.   This ceramic metallic coating  reflects better than aluminum, steel, or cast iron.  Most common applications are combustion chamber, valve  face, tops of pistons, bottom of intake manifold………….


Oil shedding fluoropolymer coatings reduce parasitic drag on rotating components.  The high release  properties of this coating allow high revving engine parts to slice through the oil more efficiently.  Most  common applications include connecting rods and crankshafts…….. 

Will my engine produce more horsepower ?


Yes.  Numerous independent dyno tests have been performed with documented power gains of 5 to 20 Hp on V8 engines.   Coatings allow additional lubrication which may allow you to reduce the viscosity of your oil and grease  thereby saving more power.


Can used parts be coated ?

Yes. utilizes the highest quality etching materials to provide maximum adhesion of the coatings.  Parts  should be shipped  clean and disassembled. Additional cost will be added if need cleaned.

Will the coating affect engine clearances ?

Piston diameter will increase 0.001 - 0.0015"   Bearing film thickness is 0.0004 - 0.0006".  Any engine builder  will easily accommodate coated parts into to your next engine build. 


How long does the coating last ?


On race prepared engines coated pistons will retain nearly 100% of there added lubricity for several seasons of  racing.  Coated bearings will last 3 to 5 times longer than an uncoated bearing.
