ColorGard

• Extreme temperature exhaust system coating.
• Available in several colors (see below)
• Reduces underhood temperatures, reduces exhaust manifold surface temperatures
• Improve exhaust gas velocity, increase H.P.
• Air drying, requires no baking
• Coverage: See above
• Cleanup with xylene, lacquer thinner, acetone or similar.

APPLICATION: Sandblast all parts with 120 grit aluminum oxide. DO NOT USE GLASSBEAD. Clean metal using conventional cleaning methods, with acetone, lacquer thinner or other similar non-petroleum based solvent.When the surface is clean and dry, apply a thin even layer of coating using an airbrush, detail touch-up gun or other spray equipment that allows for application of a thin film of approximately .001" to .0015". Avoid excessive build-up of material as this can lead to loss of adhesion. DO NOT APPLY A SECOND COAT AFTER THE COATING DRIES. The coating will air dry to the touch in a few minutes. Install on vehicle, as the coating will cure with exaust heat. CAUTION: Excessive exhaust heat due to a poorly tuned engine can damage the coating during the cure period. Do not install on a new engine untill all adjustments have been made to the valves, timing and jetting. Allow the engine to idle, or drive gently for approximately 30 minutes or until no vapor/smoke is given off by the coating. MAINTAIN adequate ventilation during this process.

Cilgen Satin Black

• Extreme temperature exhaust system coating.
• Withstands 1700-2000 deg F
• Fully air cures in 96 hours. Can be put into use after 24 hours
• Excellent Lubrication and release properties
• Effective thermal barrier
• Can withstand direct flame without delamination
• Good adhesion to virtually all metals and some plasics
• Topcoat with Cermaseal for glossy look and improved chemical and corrosion resistance
• Topcoat not required
• No primer required

Application: All parts must be completely free of grease, oil, moisture, dust, scale or corrosion. For steel, sandblast with 80-100 grit aluminum oxide or similar. Softer metals, such as aluminum, use 100-120 grit aluminum oxide or similar at 35-40 PSI using a suction type blaster. Porous materials may need no surface prep. NOTE - Phosphating may be performed in lieu of sandblasting.

Before spraying, the part must be thoroughly cleaned using air blast, hot water rinse, solvent based rinse, or any other method that provides a clean, dry surface. DO NOT use petroleum based solvents.

Apply coating in two, light wet passes, allowing to dry to a satin appearance before applying the second coat. Do NOT allow to air dry over 20 minutes between coats.

Coating is air dry in 120 mins. 24 hours minimum cure time. Clean up with MEK, acetone or similar solvent.
