First
I’ve been using swaintech white lightning. Would be great to see it featured.
Cerakote vs Melonite ?
So nice to see a legend not flogging a Nissan Z today ❤️
Cammisa is the legend
🔥🔥🔥🔥
🇵🇰❤️🇵🇰
I love that Jeep!
Seems like he’s getting attached to it now 😂
Doesn’t take much to get sucked in by these XJ’s
@CanadaBud23 yeah dang it!
the cerakote dude doesnt know how to talk about his product
Probably the first time he’s been on camera
I think the ones whom can’t talk. Are the achievers. Less marketing more working.
Not everyone is comfortable talking on camera, he got better as they went. How about you try it and make some video about cerakote.
I got the impression that he was busy with production work and didn’t have time for interviews.
It’s a shity f***ing coupes.
Wagoneer cool.
Q: What’s with Cerakote and… guns ? 🤫
Yep, I’m Canadian and I hate guns. Especially after this last weekend’s murders…
It’s okay to not understand the physics of Cerakote, so just watch the video a couple more times. Also, take the time to evaluate the actor of a deed rather than the machine. For example, I hate drunk drivers and distracted drivers who injure and kill other people, but I love cars.
@Texas0bserver Well said.
Guns aren’t the problem Marc
Canada has literally millions of gun owners…
“Air craft grade simple green”
😂😂😂
I absolutely love the videos on how they do stuff. I never realized how important decreasing was for the cerakote process.
Can you make a video like this for how they set up the machine for grinding crankshafts, or surfacing heads?
Hate the jeep. Bring back the chevy truck!
Not a lawyer, but Western Michigan Cerakote should consult their contract with Rivian regarding their ability to display and discuss Rivian parts on YouTube.
Cerakote come no where close to powdercoating.or jet hot coating
I just came back from buying Cerakote plastic trim wipes, sat down opened youtube , what a surprise 👍
I used Cerakote on my Z32 Manifolds and they look great! Can’t say if it brings temps down but I wanted to avoid wrapping the manifolds with heat wrap. Got the C-Series so I let it air dry for a week. Sandblasted, pdegreased, baked, and painted. Really easy if you have a bit of experience with painting
The laser etching caught my attention. I’ve got a pair of M/T valve covers with a big blank area meant for a label. I’ll check to see what it will cost to have it engraved with something like 351 / 4v or similar.
