dodgy_tom Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Not sure about wheels, but I had my TR1 engine ceramic coated externally, I think it was Camcoat who did it. Maybe worth a ring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe worth a ring? nicely. thanks for that -i'm biting bullet and taking the 996 off the road for winter -it despreately needs some tlc inside and out and the wheels are a bit knacked due to my clunky tyre changing!

Maybe worth a ring? How did the casings last? Worth doing? i remember reading about someone teflon coating his engine in BIKE years ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemonkey Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Damned interesting idea... I'm sure I've spoken to someone who used a Teflon coating (PTFE) kit at some point. I remember being told it was quite straightforward too. If it lasts then then it'd be awesome for winter bikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beek Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 seems to last on saucepans for many a years getting all kinds of abuse id reckon it would be a great idea teflon seems hard and fook and lasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srad34 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 My R1 wheels have a teflon type coating. VERY durable but look constantly grubby! I'm going to get them blasted and painted in Graphite grey over the winter. Recommended if using for track/race bike and frequent tyre changes.....
