Cerakote High Temperature ceramic coatings is the industry leader in high-temperature exhaust coatings. It can withstand temperatures of up to 1100 degrees Celsius. Cerakote is a ceramic-based finish that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers and wood. The unique formulation used for Cerakote ceramic coating enhances a number of physical performance properties, including abrasion/wear resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength, and hardness. Each of these properties is rigorously tested to guarantee that Cerakote products remain at the forefront of the ceramic coatings market.
Cerakote also provides a number of additional benefits that aren’t common across all types of powder coating. Like most powder coatings, Cerakote will enhance your product’s ability to resist abrasion, wear, corrosion, and chemical penetration. It will also increase the hardness and strength of your product. However, Cerakote has been specially engineered to outperform nearly all other coating formulas in these metrics.
Whether you’re a motorcycle enthusiast looking to upgrade your bike’s headers, a 4WD owner needing protection for your turbo manifold, a performance vehicle builder chasing that show-quality finish, or a fleet operator wanting long-lasting exhaust protection, our Cerakote Exhaust Coating service is engineered to exceed expectations. Led by Director Matt Spears, our 100% Australian owned and operated business has built a solid reputation across the Gold Coast for delivering finishes that look incredible and stand the test of time.

Cerakote Exhaust Coating is a high-temperature ceramic-based coating designed for parts exposed to extreme heat. Unlike standard spray paint, general-purpose coatings or basic powder coating, Cerakote is engineered for specialist applications where performance, protection and appearance matter.
When applied correctly, Cerakote forms a thin, durable protective layer over the prepared surface. For exhaust components, this coating can improve resistance to heat, oxidation, corrosion, surface wear and environmental exposure. It also creates a clean, professional finish that can make exhaust systems, headers and engine bay components look sharper and more refined.
- Exhaust systems
- Exhaust headers
- Turbo housings
- Motorcycle exhausts
- Performance car parts
- Manifolds
- Engine components
- 4WD and off-road parts
- Truck and fleet vehicle components
- Industrial machinery parts
- Custom automotive builds
- Restoration projects
At Gold Coast 2Pac Painting, we work with customers who want more than just a basic finish. Many of our clients come to us because they want a coating that looks good, performs under pressure and suits the purpose of the part.
We take the time to understand the job, inspect the component, and recommend the right approach based on the material, condition, intended use, and required finish.
Key Benefits of Cerakote Exhaust Coating:
- It is safe for any part that can withstand a 500°F cure temperature
- It has been rated safe up to a 900°F base metal temperature and 2000°F exhaust gas temperature
- It is a lifetime protection against rust
- Reduces under-hood temperatures by over 30°F degrees
- Has a very smooth and clean appearance
- Comes in a large variety of colors
- Maintains true color for years
- Easy to clean
Heat resistance
Exhaust parts are exposed to constant heat. A high-temperature ceramic coating is designed to withstand conditions that standard coatings cannot handle.
Corrosion protection
Moisture, road grime and contaminants can lead to corrosion. Cerakote helps provide a protective barrier over the surface.
Improved appearance
A coated exhaust, header or turbo housing can look much cleaner and more professional than raw, rusty or heat-stained metal.
Durability
When properly prepared and applied, Cerakote provides a hard-wearing finish suitable for demanding automotive and industrial use.
Restoration value
For classic cars, vintage motorcycles, custom builds and restored parts, Cerakote can help restore components to a clean, high-quality appearance.
Professional finish
Cerakote gives exhaust and engine components a refined, purpose-built look, suited to performance vehicles, show cars, custom motorcycles and industrial machinery.
Every job begins with a thorough inspection of your exhaust components. We discuss your goals, recommend the most suitable Cerakote product for your application, help you choose the perfect colour, and provide a transparent, upfront quote. There are no surprises or hidden costs, just honest advice from professionals who care about getting it right.
Cerakote performs best when applied to a properly prepared surface. We carefully disassemble exhaust systems where required and remove any heat shields, brackets, sensors, or fittings that shouldn’t be coated. Each component is inspected for damage and any required repairs before coating commences.
Surface preparation is crucial for a durable Cerakote finish. We use sandblasting to remove paint, rust, oils, and contaminants, creating an ideal surface for bonding. For delicate parts, vapour blasting offers a gentle cleaning without aggressive removal.
After blasting, every component is thoroughly cleaned and degreased to eliminate any residual contaminants. Even the smallest trace of oil or grease can compromise coating adhesion, so we take extra care during this critical stage.
Using professional spray equipment in our controlled environment, our experienced technicians apply Cerakote in precisely controlled coats. Application thickness, technique, and environmental conditions are all monitored to ensure a flawless, uniform finish. Whether your exhaust requires a single colour or a custom multi-tone design, we apply each layer with precision and care.
Once applied, Cerakote requires a specific curing schedule to achieve its full mechanical and thermal properties. We cure every component in our dedicated curing ovens at the manufacturer-recommended temperatures and times. Proper curing is essential — without it, the coating will not deliver the heat resistance and durability for which Cerakote is renowned.
Before we hand anything back to you, every component undergoes a rigorous quality check. We inspect for coverage, finish consistency, colour accuracy, and overall workmanship. If it doesn’t meet our high standards, it doesn’t leave our workshop.
Where required, we reassemble your exhaust system and prepare it for collection or installation. We’ll also provide care instructions to help you get the most out of your new Cerakote-coated exhaust.
