Where do you take a set of headers for thermal/ceramic coating around the Toronto area?

 

Try these guys. I hear they do good work.

Thanks. I've just requested an on-line quote.

 

Thought I'd post the response from Fireball Coatings.

The cost to coat a big block set of headers is mid-size $275.00- full length $325.00. That price includes all prep required in any standard ceramic finish coated inside and outside.

Turn around is within a week. We can pick them up and ship them back for $30.00 each way. Just call or email to arrange.

We also have a toronto drop off location at 1814 Drew Rd. That is 407 and Dixie area. Here is a map / link for the Toronto drop off location. If you drop it there.....let me know and I will send the truck to pick them up.

Any other places in or around Toronto?

 

get some bbq paint and do it yourself.

 

I'll be using these guys for my headers. I'm tired of doing it myself only to have them look like areshole once spring comes. If you don't cure them when you paint them, the coating comes off anyway.

 

I've heard that high temp paint (like bbq or woodstove paint) can be effective however I don't think it can compete with a ceramic coating. Ceramic not only has an excellent appearance, it also helps to keep the heat in the header where it belongs.

I went with fireball coatings they did a great job for about $250 on my shortys look real good

 

Got any pics of them??? I will also be going with fireball went i get my new headers this year

 

heres the before and after, not a great pic but u can see how they are

 

WOW!!!!!! those are nice for sure. Can you get them coated and any other colour at all???

 

yea thanks man they look great from what they were. On the site it has a few colour options black, polished, silver metallic, blue..
mine were the polished

 

Just got quoted $180.00 to powder coat both sway bars

 

I might go with Afterburner now that I've looked at the price list. See what they say once they get back to me with a quote.

 

It seems that Fireball and Afterburner are about the same at $300 for small block full length headers.

 

Well what I wasn't told about Fireball is the stripping of any paint/rust on the headers before the coating process can begin. So that's an extra cost. Mine will be brand new so...

 

Fireball had this to say...
"The cost to coat a big block set of headers is mid-size $275.00- full length $325.00. That price includes all prep required in any standard ceramic finish coated inside and outside."
Mine have a season of rust on them see they'll need the prep work.

 

Hmm interesting, now it's a toss up

 

Not that it's close for some of you guys and a bit off topic but if your looking for powder coating, try ABC Electro Powdercoating in Port Hope. They did my valve covers in gloss black and my TPI plenum, Runners, and dizzy cover in a dark gray for 150.00 cash. One week turn around, great service and a year later everything still looks awesome.
