It was a program about the Meresk Emma and they mentioned the ship's hull was Ceramic coated.
Then went on to say how much fuel it saved etc...
I got to wondering if anybody on the forum knew about Ceramic coating?
I never heard of it for boats.
Is is available for small boats?
Wood?

Or is it one of those things only the giant ship builders can afford?

The only ceramic coating I'm familiar with is for exhaust systems and headers.

The ones I had coated were heated I believe and shot with an aluminum/ceramic coating and then baked if I remember correctly....that was back in about 1987...memory is a little foggy.They had a rough sandy texture.

i have a set of factory coated jet-Hot coated headers in the garage that are very smooth,and that almost look like chrome ,but I think the process involves high heat and won't work for wood.
