A question about cleaning. Since it is no longer a smooth surface, dust and grime will sit in those crevices. Would it be harder to clean?

Clean up is easy once paint is cured. Soft bristle brush with soap and scrub :tup:

If you get tired of the black, try red! I painted an intake wrinkle red on a previous car and it looked amazing.

Also, the paint lasts a long time.

I thought about the red when I was buying the paint. Decided to go with the black for a toned down look. The red would be good for a more aggressive look.

I think it would be VERY hard to get the black off the tubes now that it is cured

Wow that does look good. I wonder if that protects from any radiant heat. I have all my turbo intake pipes in my bay wrapped with DEI reflect-a-gold now, but like the look of that.

I don't think it would protect as well as the gold foil tape. The coating is fairly thick, 1mm - 1.5 mm if I had to guess final thickness, so it likely does slow heat transfer but won't reflect radiant heat.

It is better than a non-coated tube, I did see IAT data showing closer to ambient temps but I have to see if I can find the link.

Just thought I would give a quick update after a year of use.

The tubes still look the same as the day they were coated. No flaking or degradation of the coating at all. The coating is very durable.
