Swain Technologies Ceramic Coating, anyone?
Has anyone here ever dealt with them or have real world experience with their work? They seem to be a big name on the racing circuit but the only real world info I could find is over on some corvette, Gen5 Camaro or Evo/tuner boards.

They coated the bearings in my 90 ZR-1 corvette and some other stuff but that was in 2001 and never had any problem and I've wound that lt5 to over 8 and it screams. I can't say anything bad about them. They were recommended to me by some of the ZR-1 guys and all of them have used swaintech for a long time so there doing something right.If I remember they did my piston tops and skirts. They have a dry film lubricant that works great in certain areas. It's a cheap insurance policy and peace of mind.

Re: Swain Technologies Ceramic Coating, anyone?
Swain used to be very popular in NASCAR circles, back when this technology was new. That's where I first heard of it, and then. Have no idea about their reputation now, but have not heard anything negative.
