That's interesting. My first reaction to ceramics is a concern about
brittleness. Question them closely about the coatings' resistance to
stress cracking.
Its encouraging that a car exhaust was referred to though.
Keep us posted

The new material is called Cermakrome and I believe it is a ceramic based coating that resembles chrome. They say that it "resembles chrome and the more you polish it the more it brightens". Works on any metal except magnesium. Also says that it can withstand continuous temps of (1300F) and will not discolour. Cost? They say that a single header exhaust header for a 4 cylinder car runs about $125 Cdn. Seems that it is pretty close to regular plating. I am going to call them to see if they can do my old headers from my Ambo. I'm not sure if the process can work on old metal or not. Anyone heard of this process? I'll let you all know what I learn. Regards...Ian p.s. by the way...I have no connection to these people....just sounds like an alternative to regualr plating. -----Original Message----- From: Hunter Jones <hhjo-@mindspring.com> To: Loopfram-@topica.com <Loopfram-@topica.com> Date: February 8, 2001 11:53 PM Subject: Re: Replating
