clint78z Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 There is always seem to be intrest here in ceramic coatings here. I would like to get my manifold done but live in Canada so just going to a shop is a big problem. I found this place that sells ceramic coating powder, dry film lube for piston skirts, and thermal barrier for top of pistons. I emailed to see if I could buy some without being a retailer. Prices are very good. I will update if I get a response http://www.techlinecoatings.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 I believe that is the company owned by "takman57" who used to post on this forum a while back when it was "new." Their prices are fair and they do some quality work--I seriously doubt you would be disappointed. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Davy, I think you're close. Takman uses techline's products (many coaters do) but techline has been around longer that Takman has been doing it. I bought a bottle of that stuff but didn't use it. I may someday, but 500F is pretty hard to do in the wife's oven.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Heh, and not for th efirst time do I regret tossing that old oven instead of keeping it For ceramic and powder coating it would've been perfect. Maybe once the garage gets "improved" I can find an old clunker to use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotfitz Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Thanks for the great idea! I just replaced my old beater of an oven. And I just so happen to have a 220 outlet in the garage. Now if only I can get my rear control arms in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Yep, that'd be cool. A full size oven can get some decent sized parts in there. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 I heard that Harbor Freight has powder coating equipment at a reasonable price. Has anyone used a conventional oven as a heat source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clint78z Posted July 15, 2002 Author Share Posted July 15, 2002 I got an email back from them very quickly, they seems extremely helpful and informative. They are not out to BS you about it must be applied by a dealer with $20k worth of equipment. I think anyone that preps and has a decent air brush can get excellent results. I saw on the web that one guy used his wife's oven to bake it and it supposedly had no smell. I am sure powdercoating would smell just like paint. Unforntunately they can't ship to Canada, dangerous goods makes it too much of a pain in the butt for them. He said he could ship to a US BOX, then someone could pick it up. Hmm I guess I have to figure out a different way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Does that make sense? Apparently we can ship all kinds of dangerous stuff back and forth between ourselves (in the U.S) but god forbid we try to get some of it out of the country Would a kiln at a ceramics shop work? I`m sure 500F wouldn`t be a problem for them. I guess 500F could be done at home if you have a self cleaning oven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clint78z Posted July 16, 2002 Author Share Posted July 16, 2002 I know they ship their product to Canada, because they have a ddealer in Ontario. It is probably lots of paper work, and added shipping charges that doesn't make it feasable to ship a small amount to one Customer. I will keep on it to find a cheap solution !!
