Turbo paint?
Turbo Mini Forums

Does anyone know any good stuff? i was thinking maybe ceramic coating or something.

Any other suggestions? :)

Ceramic is about the only thing that will take the heat.

which side you wanting to paint? where i used to work, we used to just spray the inlet side and centre with normal 2 pack. The turbos we had back even after time hadnt discoloured. They were painted a nato green so would notice the colour change too

David.

Hmm, was thinking both sides, exhaust and intake side. i read about some vht firepproof paint i think it was, was supposed to withstand 1100 degree's. but some people had it flakening.

Does any of you know how much it will cost me to get it ceramic coated?

Can I ask why you want to paint it?

hehe, its mostly for keeping rust away, and keeping underbonnet temperature :)

There is no chance of any paint surviving the hot side.

Ceramic coatings are the only thing that stand a chance

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Guess not, hmm will have to find someone who can do ceramic then, thx anyways!

I dont think painting it will make any difference to under bonnet temps. What about one of those heatproof turbo cosy things?

Rust won't be a problem (other than aesthetically) as all OEM turbos are unpainted.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

The new ceramic paint is supposed to insane when it comes to thermal barrier, reducing temperature by up to 30% atleast i have heard.

Hmm maybe that's the way to go then, is there any difference to quality on these, or can i just buy a cheap shitty one off ebay?

cheap is never the way to go... just get an under carb heatshield if your worried.

hmm, i'll figure something out :)

Thx chaps!
