I agree, that color looks great with black. As far as tips and exhaust go, black is certainly one of the most popular requests, but you have several options on a part like this. If you prefer a more traditional chrome, stainless or brushed stainless finish we have a High Temp "Kryptonite" clear Ceramic that can be used in these applications. It makes cleaning off carbon, dirt, misc debri much easier. In many cases, it will reduce anything from sticking to it in the first place.
This Clear Ceramic Coating is offered in both a gloss and semi gloss finish. This also allows you to achieve a gloss black Ceramic Coated tip as well since you can't get a Ceramic black in a true gloss. Closest we have is a nice semi gloss.

Hi,
just hoping to get some information here on ceramic coatings for exhaust manifold, turbo housing, etc.
My question is :
1) Is ceramic coating needs a base coat like any metal coat materials via plasma spray in order to have high thermal barrier capabilities?
2) Which is much durable and higher resistant to high temp, wear & corrosion resistant? Plasma spray or Ceramic spray paint type (exmp-Cerakote)?
Thanks.

Nice, I'd recommend a graphene coating instead of ceramic since it has more heat resistance. We carry both at our Ceramic Coating Shop in Fresno / Clovis https://glosstechnique.com/ceramic-coating-fresno-ca/
Also, if it is layer-able that would help even more.

Hi Temp Ceramic Coating Exhaust Tips / Headers

1) Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coatings used for turbos; headers, manifolds, exhaust tips, etc, etc. are typically rated at 1800F to 2200F. Not sure why it would matter, but they do NOT require a primer nor a top coat. Nor is a base coat required in thermal spray applications.
2) As to the pro's and cons of Ceramic Thermal Barriers sprays vs plasma sprays, it really comes down to usage and aesthetics. They're similarly rated in the 1800F - 2200F range. Plasma is very durable for abrasion and nearly impossible to remove once applied as it was primarily developed for tooling / wear operations. Plasma spray is whitish-grey and not particularly attractive and has a VERY rough surface similar to 36 grit sandpaper. Companies like zircotec have come up with some top coats to add color, but this doesn't change the texture. A big problem with plasma spray is that you're unable to SPRAY INSIDE any components. Its pretty much line of sight. Corrosion is more common with plasma due to the porosity, but it would also depend on the substrate being coated and the coating mixture.
As for Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coatings, they are available in about a dozen colors. Obviously black being the most popular here for exhaust tips. They are very smooth to touch as well. You can spray pretty much any part or surface too. They don't have quite the abrasion resistance as plasma spray, nor do you need it in most exhaust applications, BUT once the coatings work harden, they become very durable.
I think that about covers it in a nut shell.........
