JTStarlet92 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Ok so firstly, is it possible to powdercoat the compressor side of the turbo without paint peeling or coming off? Secondly, am I better taking the turbo apart to get it coated or keep it as is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Lol why would u powder coat a turbo??It will last five minutes under boost before it catches fire or u die of smoke inhalation Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MARC MOSS Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Honestly mate they get way to hot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azz Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 You can ceramic coat it pall, same end result as powdercoat but will not burn off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I know you can have the exhaust manifold coated in ceramic shit, you can choose different colours too. But it ain't cheap.Canny mind the name of the company but they might be able to help you ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 The compressor side dont get that hot!Martin from holland has only sprayed his with what i think was VHT paint and his has lasted for months and a ct9 turbo gets hotter then most turbos due to the size of it!

Azz Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I did spray the exhaust side the black vht and it lasted about a week before it looks immensly shite ! If you google ceramic coating there are lots of places that you can send it off to be done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 A local guy uses these people/>http://www.zircotec.com/Quite expensive but works pretty well and looks great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JTStarlet92 Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 I've phoned zircotec about exhaust manifolds and stuff and its quite expensive but worth it I suppose, got told you can touch the manifolds when hot with the best coating? Think I'll get everything else sorted first before dealing with the turbo as there's some wobble in the shaft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Turbine side gets mega hot and isnt worth painting, Compressor side is okay to paint just make sure you use a high heat paint and give it a good coating and it should be okay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
