I have a question about Ceramic Coating on the exhaust system. I have recently removed my engine for some minor fix ups (oil leaks and clutch), and want to tidy it up before it goes back in. I have a lot of items earmarked for powder coating, but I recently heard about ceramic coating exhausts as it resists staining from the heat. I have also heard that the ceramic coating retains a lot of heat and I wanted to know if that is true as the air cooled engine works best without heat.
I have removed the heat exchanger tinware, and I feel there are four options to refurb the exhaust:
1. leave them as they are (ugly and rusted looking) - not preferred
2. Paint them with heat proof paint
3. Powder coat them, or
4. Ceramic coat them.
Does anyone have any views on this question?
Thanks
