Default White Lightning Coating

Does anyone have any pics of White Lightning Coating from swaintech?

Im curious how much it costs you to get them coated and how long the turn around time was.

Please post up pictures if you got them.

Thanks

Get ahold of Nick Yoskin. He should have his PTK hot parts back from SwainTech by now. I'd take a picture of mine for you, but PTK says my stuff is still at SwainTech.

I'm wanting to say he paid a little over $500 to have his coated, but could be wrong. I opted to fore-go the stock coating that PTK includes with their kit, and go straight to the WhiteLightning stuff. I'm not taking a chance on this underhood heat issue. Anyways, mine was less than $500 (can't remember the exact amount), but, I chose not to use PTK's original coating, so it should even out. BTW, I think his turnaround time was around 3 weeks. According to PTK, mines been there over a month. Who knows....

You might also think about putting some type of coating OVER the SwainTech stuff, as I'm told it pretty porous (sp?) and absorbant. i.e. dirty fingers will leave dirty fingerprints. Kevin Sheridan went with a hi-temp rattle can paint for his, and from what I understand, is working out just fine. Nick contacted me about having some hi-temp powdercoating done overtop of the SwainTech. I like this idea better than painting it, as it'll probably be more durable. SwainTech also says that there is absolutely no problem with powdercoating overtop of their stuff.


Hope this helps.

I have it on my headers, the coating works very well. I have a few blood stains on mine. I paid about $150 for headers to be coated.
