Red Eye........can you define further as to the product which would be " standard black ceramic coating " Just curious as to how other vendors define their use of " ceramic "

I never used the side pipes with the only the Swain coating, no experience on foreign products altering the appearance, chipping, etc. The vendor that coated the pipes with high temp baked black mentioned it would be a challenge to sand blast off the Swain coating w/o damaging the metal, i.e. adhesion etc. Would guess having the black coating applied over the Swain coating was not a common approach.
