“Powder” coating is defines has dry substance electrically applied to a metal surface. Mostly because fiberglass and plastic can't hold up to the heat with out deforming. Plus they’re not very good for the negative charge to adhere to. (Static)
Anyway, there's not much difference in ceramic coating, jet coating and "powder coating". The biggest difference is the formulations. But what is the dry substance is designed for. This will of course dictate the process in which it is applied. Take my exhaust manifold for example. I "powdered" it with high temp silicone black powder. This took a 450 degree at 22 mins. (Metal temp) The bake window is very high for most powders. As to say most powders are designed for appearance and durability. The black I used was designed for 1000degrees with spikes of 1500. Side note; I used my companies RayTek to take a bunch or readings. Before and afters. I saw spikes of 740(near the turbo) on 80degree days. I should be fine.
There are many processes in powder coating. Most of them differ in when the heat is applied. Most have you apply the powder by negatively charging the powder and applying it to a grounded surface. Others may have you preheat the item to be coated then apply powder and finish baking. Although ceramic in a more difficult process and requires more controlled equipment. It is also limited in colors. Plus much more costly. All for a good reason. Some how and even I can't explain it; ceramic radiates heat better then a non-coated clean surface.
Unfortunately I’m not the “greatest” mechanic but I can paint anything on our cars you want! Lol Just see my gallery!
Ya'll take care
