If you consider shipping (NY to CA) and tax I believe the whole thing was about $180.00. sixtyfive c-10, I don't think I would do it again.  It would be interesting to hear from others if you have to go as far as I did to get a nice finish. The ceramic coating must smooth out the surface some. I think CAPS said the 220 grit finish would produce a very smooth result. I could have cut 3-4 hours of sanding time if I had quit there. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 | Bill,
They look like liquid gold. Did you have the flanges milled down to match the intake manifold flanges in thickness?

It cost $175 for the pair, and they did the sanding.  | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 166 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2006 Posts: 166 | Nice job. Mine are on order. I asked that they be Jet-Hot coated. I am sure they won't be that nice, but I am anxious to see them.

I am very familiar with various plating techniques and applications, but not cermakrome coating. I am curious as to how that will hold up to the high heat from the exhaust.
I am going to ask the local plating shop if he can do that. I will probably never have enough money in my old truck budget, but I really like how yours turned out.
That is very cool. Once again, GREAT JOB!!!

They advertise in the inliners newsletter. http://www.capsbhc.com/coating1.htmI'm certainly jealous of $175.00 and no sanding. I did fit the headers with my intake manifold before I started the sanding. I made final adjustments on the tabs to get the retainers even.

And when you porcelinize them how do you keep from cracking the porcelin when you tighten the clamps?

Todd Would you mind posting a picture of yours when you get them? I was hoping for a set of Fentons for Xmas, but got a 'Honeydoo' list instead.
