How To CERAKOTE Your Engine Parts (Fast & Easy) NO OVEN!!!

[@MrNoclutch]

Painted the cam covers on the Mustang 10 years ago, think I will use Cerakoat this spring since I am not swapping cams anymore. Great video.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you, that should look awesome, they have a bunch of color choices!!!

[@Danno74Z]

Hi AC, I Cerakoted a set of Hooker Headers with the High Temp 1800 degrees V171. It does have to be oven cured at 500 degrees for 1 hour. They came out GREAT! I bought an old oven at a second hand store that sold old appliances. The mid length headers just kept the oven door open just a little but we got her done. Your intake came out great too! One thing and you mentioned it several times are the fumes. There is NO WAY I would ever spray without a GOOD respirator. I used a half mask like you used but I recommend a full-face mask. I was able to get the job done but the fumes given off from the Cerakote really made my eyes tear. So to all folks get a full face mask...trust me. This Cerakote material is a serious coating!! Please do more coating AC, thanks!!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks man, what mask do you use, I'd love to have a full mask for sure!! I want to do some more coating videos this one was pretty fun!!!! Thanks for watching!!!

The intake and exhaust manifolds on my very ratty old 67 vette''s 327 still look good after being cerakoted many years ago.... There are several tiny rusty specs bleeding thru on the cast iron exhaust manifolds, but the aluminum intake still looks perfect. I'm guessing the water wasn't burned off correctly on these, and the cast iron's rust has wicked thru the improperly applied product. Still like the look tho! LOVE the color on your intake....matching Torq Thrust wheels will look great with it! Thanks brother for this video; you always teach me something usable! A+++++

[@ratmowersjts7546]

Cool color. Great video as usual. I was thinking on starting my own thing. I was going to do a little bit of a lot of stuff ( metal polishing, powder coating, spray on chrome, sand blasting, & maybe adding on what you just did too). I have experience in all but this. Your video proved it's not that difficult. Thanks.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you very much I say go for it

[@ThomasSprague-d3l]

Definitely would very much enjoy more of these how to Cerakote videos. Thank you.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Were gonna try to!!!!

[@ThomasSprague-d3l]

@ACDesignsGarage AWESOME!! Thank you. 😁

[@glennramsey917]

Using the torch to get the moisture out is a GAME CHANGER !!! Ive done my blocks that way and my headers n exhaust manifolds but I’ve not got the chance to so an intake yet .. ill not paint anything else without heating it up .

[@Metalcrafter]

Wrong. Burning propane creates moisture if the metal is cooler. It is a by-product of combustion (CO2 and water vapor). The moisture you see was made by the propane burning.

[@glennramsey917]

@ thats already beed debunked on uncle tonys garage .. how can a piece of metal be 150 degrease without the water evaporating ? Besides that when i heat metal up with a torch the paint is basicly on there permanitrly .. if i dont it flakes off in about 6 months

[@glennramsey917]

@@Metalcrafter besides that how does a 1500 degree flame have moisture in it ?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Yeah that is a great trick, I learned off of youtube lol

[@ACDesignsGarage]

The real purpose is to draw any containment out of the metal

[@garypease7414]

Small tip, put some bolts in all the holes tha arent taped over. Itll save you alot of bolt hole cleanup. Pipe plugs in the sensor holes wouldnt hurt either.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Ear plugs work great for that to

[@denniswillie949]

Intake looks good I’ve got an old 94 burb with a big block and like you were saying tbi not working like it should I’m thinking about going to carb myself, thanks for sharing the info, God Bless

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Awesome, go for it. I agree those things are a pain, have a Blessed day 🙏

[@Razor-able007]

Intake looks cool,impressive job.Like 33:36 you took precaution with your safety stuff.I live in Winnipeg,Canada where it’s a bit frosty now,-25 Fahrenheit.Would like see more of your work.Magnesium look is right on.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Awesome thank you, I'm gonna do another cerakote video this friday !!!

[@donnicomede]

Great music in your videos, and only when necessary! Great job 👍!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you, I try not to over do it lol, thanks for watching!!!

[@mccanlessdesign]

Agitate! I made a mount for my old Sawzall to make a power screed to allow me to level small concrete flatwork myself - works a treat.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Man thats pretty cool

[@JamesSmith-hx3lp]

Enjoyed the video! Looks great!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you very much!!!!

[@horsefly1020]

Get you a fresh air respirator it's a game changer. I've got the breath cool 2 and you will always be breathing fresh air no matter what your doing. I use mine for painting and welding.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks ill check that out!!!

[@horsefly1020]

I started doing cerakote on guns a long time ago then I did my engine, exhaust and turbo. Came out good I burnt bronze and graphite black. Some parts we're oven cured and some air dry. The air dry C series is better for high heat and the oven cure H series is more durable. I'm getting ready to build a big oven soon.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Man thats awesome, I have some burnt bronze, that's my favorite color!!!

[@5speediroc]

if you want to save a step in the prep process.. I've been refinishing duck guns and deer rifles for over 2 decades. I use gunkote baked on finishes. I preheat the parts in the oven to 300 degrees for an hour. That sweats all the impurities out of the metal. I wipe the part down after it cools then sand blast it.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Awesome thanks for the tip I'll try some of that!!!!

[@5speediroc]

@@ACDesignsGarage you're welcome. For an oven we modified a warming oven you would find in a bakery. it looks like a stainless steel half fridge. we put the element from a kitchen stone in the bottom of it. It works great and is easy to hang parts in.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you, ill have to be on the look out for one!!!

[@FontzRestaurantRepair]

Super informative and high quality video. I'm shocked I haven't stumbled upon your channel sooner!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you very much welcome to the family!!!!

[@seandenny1553]

I like that color looks cool vintage hot rod

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I do to, looks fast

[@dexleo2]

I have the same gun set!!!!!! I have painted a lot of cars and trucks with them and still use them today!!!!!!!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

There pretty good forsure

[@darrelkinney9856]

Cool video nice job heard about the stuff now seen how it looks on parts 👍 , always herd of people using glycol sealer for engine on the inside and other parts.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks for watching, I've never heard of that before, ill check it out!!!

[@REDLINEBECKONZ]

Just found your channel, great info! Have you tried any chrome spray paint? Haven't found a good diy on chrome, would be nice for engine parts/wheels. Especially coming from an o.g. painter. Thank you, keep it up.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you very much, I've tried the house of kolor mirror chrome years ago it's Ok looks kinda like polished aluminum. You spray black base coat then clear. Then cut and buff it to a mirror finish then spray the mirror chrome on it then shoot the clear it's pretty neat stuff!!

[@REDLINEBECKONZ]

@@ACDesignsGarage You clear twice? Black base then clear then the chrome paint and clear again?

[@JohnTaylor-kh1sv]

I would like to see this on as set of aluminum wheels

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I'm going to do that soon, I think it would look awesome!!!!

[@Hitech82]

Beautiful job

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you!!!!

[@RussellCompton-fh3gr]

a airbrush video with the C would be nice

[@RussellCompton-fh3gr]

oh and what engine combo you building for that big intake

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I may try that!!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

It's just a stock tbi 350, it's not gonna be a performer but it will still run better than that tbi lol

[@mnburney]

Seeing that carb on backwards hurt my brain. Great video though.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I like to throw little things in there to see who notices it lol 😆

[@mr.espeedshop4839]

Great video. How far does a pint go? Like if I were to coat some vintage jeep steel wheels would I need 2 pints?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I'd rather go with 2 and have some left over. I always buy more than I think I need, I'll always use it on something lol

[@1BigDaDo]

Pint = 50 ft² per coat.

the 'Tungsten C111 Cerakote" link doesn't seem to be working

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you ill try to fix it

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Got it workin thanks again

[@johnc7431]

How would that work on Chrome please let me know

[@markt9438]

Will it stick to any surface of a header like stainless steel that would be amazing because it's not porous or does it only go on the kind that get painted?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Yes You prep it the same way, I've done stainless exhaust before. The preparation is the key!!!

@@ACDesignsGaragegreat vid.. thank you for the time. I’m getting ready to tackle this same job. Thanks again

[@007380]

This stuff is crazy expensive. Exactly what does it do?

[@davegee4129]

Isn't cerakote supposed to be 1 coat not multiple?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Usually 2 med wet coats, but with all the nooks and crannies and trying not to dry spray, this was a tough one to spray.

[@oldspwr1]

Be careful of the spray can fumes and an open flames or that torpedo heater there can make a BOOM.!!!!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Your right!!!!

[@Tjn6898]

Love your sawzawshaker

[@jimstansbury6013]

With your surface prep any paint would stick.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

That's what we're shootin for, being a custom painter for 20 years will make you that way lol

[@fate2022]

Using scotchbright pads , not the best ides when you're trying to clean the surface, all you are doing is sanding the surface you're trying to prep creating more debris you already tried to clean off. You can actually see the aluminum that's being scuffed off. all you need is the brake cleaner, or acetone,and then torch it after to make sure you cook off any residue.

[@nolanhill3400]

You have an air gap intake. Lol

[@ACDesignsGarage]

The only reason I like them I can run the wires under the carb to hide them lol

[@darryladams519]

@ACDesignsGarage yeah plus they're supposed to help keep the air fuel mixture cooler. I couldn't help but make the comment when you was talking about all the openings and such.
