When you invest in performance car parts, you expect them to last—and look good doing it. That’s why at Rvng RaceWorks, we rely on Cerekote, the industry’s most advanced ceramic coating technology. This revolutionary finish not only enhances the durability and heat resistance of automotive components but also gives them a flawless, professional appearance. From precision engine parts to eye-catching exterior finishes, Cerakote helps us deliver the perfect balance between protection, performance, and style.
What Makes Cerakote the Ideal Automotive Coating
Cerakote is a thin-film ceramic-based coating engineered for superior performance. Originally developed for military and aerospace applications, it has become the gold standard for high-performance automotive finishes. Unlike traditional paint or powder coating, Cerakote chemically bonds to metal, plastic, and composite surfaces, creating a strong, heat-resistant, and corrosion-proof barrier.
At Rvng RaceWorks, we’ve mastered the art of applying Cerakote to maximize both aesthetics and durability, making it the go-to finish for serious car enthusiasts and professional racers alike.
Step-by-Step: The Rvng RaceWorks Cerakote Process
Every part that comes through our facility is treated with precision and care. Here’s how we make sure every Cerakote finish exceeds expectations.
1. Inspection and Preparation
The process begins with a thorough inspection of each part. Our technicians check for existing coatings, contamination, and surface imperfections. We then clean and degrease the component to remove oils, residues, and debris. This step ensures that Cerakote adheres perfectly and performs at its best.
2. Media Blasting for Surface Readiness
Next, we use controlled media blasting to create an ideal surface texture. This not only removes old coatings and oxidation but also promotes strong mechanical bonding between the metal and the Cerakote coating.
3. Precision Application
Once prepped, the part is carefully sprayed with Cerakote using specialized equipment to achieve a uniform, thin film. The key here is precision—Cerakote coatings are applied in microns, ensuring no loss of fitment or performance tolerance.
4. Curing for Maximum Strength
After application, the part is oven-cured at specific temperatures to activate the ceramic bonding process. This step hardens the Cerakote finish, locking in its durability, corrosion resistance, and heat protection.
5. Final Inspection and Quality Control
Every Cerakote-finished part goes through a final inspection to ensure perfection. At Rvng RaceWorks, our quality standards guarantee that each component leaving our shop not only looks incredible but is built to last under the most demanding conditions.
Where Rvng RaceWorks Applies Cerakote
We use Cerakote across a wide range of performance parts, ensuring that every area of your build benefits from enhanced protection and style.
Engine and Performance Components
Cerakote is perfect for turbo housings, exhaust manifolds, intake pipes, and valve covers. Its heat resistance—up to 1,800°F—keeps components cooler, prevents oxidation, and enhances efficiency.
Suspension and Chassis Parts
Suspension components face constant exposure to debris and harsh environments. Cerakote protects them from corrosion while maintaining a sleek, professional finish.
Interior and Custom Details
We also use Cerakote on interior accents and custom brackets, allowing customers to match finishes and create a cohesive, high-end look throughout their build.
The Benefits of Cerakote at Rvng RaceWorks
Unmatched Durability
Cerakote coatings outperform traditional powder coatings and paints in every way. They resist chipping, fading, and corrosion, ensuring your parts maintain their integrity over time.
Precision Fit and Lightweight Protection
Because Cerakote is applied so thinly, it won’t affect clearances or add unnecessary weight—critical in high-performance environments.
Superior Heat and Chemical Resistance
From extreme heat cycles to harsh automotive fluids, Cerakote stands strong. It protects parts from fuel, oil, and chemicals that typically degrade other coatings.
Custom Finishes and Style
Rvng RaceWorks offers a wide selection of Cerakote colors and finishes, allowing for both stealthy and bold designs. Whether you want a matte black engine bay or a custom metallic look, Cerakote delivers performance and personality in one.
Why Rvng RaceWorks Trusts Cerakote Over Other Coatings
While other finishes might look good initially, few can handle the rigors of motorsport and daily performance driving. Powder coating can crack under heat and vibration, and paint simply can’t offer the same protection. Cerakote, however, provides a permanent solution—lightweight, resilient, and built for the extreme conditions that high-performance cars face daily.
At Rvng RaceWorks, we’ve tested coatings under track stress, high boost, and harsh road conditions. Time and again, Cerakote outperforms every other finish in maintaining both function and form.
The Future of Automotive Finishes
The automotive industry is shifting toward advanced materials and smarter coatings, and Cerakote is leading the way. Its versatility, longevity, and customization potential make it the perfect fit for the next generation of performance engineering. As cars become faster and more efficient, coatings like Cerakote ensure that every part keeps up with evolving demands.
Conclusion
At Rvng RaceWorks, our mission is to combine cutting-edge technology with craftsmanship—and Cerakote is central to that goal. It’s not just a coating; it’s a performance upgrade that protects your investment, enhances your vehicle’s appearance, and keeps every component running at its best.
