DIY Ceramic Coating

[3400-95-Modified]

they say NOT to oven bake it, I'm not sure why, but I guess you just need to be carefull going in... yeah i know not easy.

I'm using the supplied polishing liquid that came with the kit... Nothing too special I dont think.

Now if my trans was closed up i would be able to bake this on but since I'm still shy parts I cant do that quite yet... I either have to wait for EP or leave early from work to go to the yard and buy another diff.

This is what I got it to buffing more at work... Also was able to touch up the small spots that chipped a little due to water being under it, I just used a tooth pick, dipped it in and rubbed it on the part, worked like a charm.

Now I just hope it sticks...

Did you de-grease them with brake cleaner and rub them down first or just dish soap and water?

Black beauty blasted them to strip all the paint off, then used Por-15 metal ready and then wiped them down with acetone before coating.... as instructed.

I should know the answer of that one by tomorrow night if my EP LSD shows up during the day.

Ok, well an update, so far so good, BUT I think prep is really the biggest thing here... I might have missed the smallest spot with cleaner right on one of the welds by the collector... so far that is the only spot it has flaked, and its like a tiny spot... I also chipped the front with the fan going in... I was rather pissed about that one, but that I should be able to touch up with a q-tip and the paint, and then bake that back on... the Q-Tip works good because after that you polish it so you sort of take down any unevenness... I'm gonna try to see ifthey polish up some more now but honestly I dont care if they stay gray like the color they turned... as long as they dont rust!

I'll get pics later today.
