Churchy I just dropped mine off to competition coatings in Granville and they did the rest .
For the side pipes and collectors cost $500 for the pair.
Matt black is the colour i got but which for some reason is dearer that shinny silver ?
Go figure.

Churchy,
Its all in the preparation , every dent ,scratch or weld will still be noticeable , so make sure you buff out what you dont want to see.
The Coating guys will do all the degreasing etc.
Regards,
Phil

I wouldn't spend too much time polishing them, here is the process that mine undertook:
Firstly they "pre-bake" them to burn out any impurities, then they bead blast them to remove minor imperfections, then they are coated.
Phil is right though, any little dings or weld spatter will show up in the finished product.

I've got mine at HPC for coating. They hot tank or chemically strip them to clean any rust and oil off the inside and out. Then they media blast them to clean them further and key the surface so the coating gets a good grip.
The coating flows all over them and will hide a lot of smaller marks but it won't fill pinholes in welds and dents and gouges.
Cheers

Swain Technology, a ceramic coating company in the US. Their web site might answer some of your questions, based upon their version of ceramic coating. Seems that a number of companies are using the term ceramic, even with a smooth paint like surface.
Swain's coating is white and has the surface texture of medium rough sand paper. I sprayed mine with a high temp black, easy to touch up.

This sounds like Aluminium ,Aluminum Spraying. I had that done on a set of extractors on my sand buggy. It stained when you looked at it ! Never again !~
