C Series High-Temperature Ceramic Coating
C Series is an air-cure, high-temperature ceramic coating rated up to 1,093°C (2,000°F), designed for exhausts, manifolds, headers and turbo parts. We apply C Series in a wide range of colours, in-house at our workshop in Heybridge, Essex.
What is C Series ceramic coating?
C Series coatings are Cerakote’s high-temperature range. They cure at ambient temperature (air cure) rather than in an oven, which makes them suitable for large or assembled exhaust components. Key features:
- Temperature: rated up to 1,093°C, with individual colours carrying their own ratings.
- Air cure: allow five full days before running up to working temperature.
- Typical uses: exhausts, manifolds, turbos and heat shields.

C Series FAQs
What temperature can C Series ceramic coating withstand?
C Series is rated up to 1,093°C (2,000°F). Individual colours carry their own ratings, and we’ll advise which suit your part.
What does “air cure” mean?
The coating cures at ambient temperature rather than in an oven. It needs five full days to cure fully before running up to working temperature.
Do all C Series colours have the same temperature rating?
No. Each colour has its own rating, so we’ll check that your chosen colour suits how hot the part runs.
