A very different application for ceramic coatings?

**augerpro** · 05-11-2018, 01:57 PM

So all these modern ceramic coatings for cars has me intrigued. Then a lightbulb went off the other day after I installed a new stainless sink as part of my kitchen remodel. We have super hard water and it makes stainless look like #### quickly. What would prevent me from coating it with one of these ceramic coatings? What coating would be best to use?

I viewed. I just don't have any experience with it. I rent our water softener for 125 a year. It's nice. Do A test spot on an old sink maybe of something you also might put on your car. Idk. Thinking outside the box is good sometimes.

A metal coating will work fine!

I don't know if it will help much. You'd be better off drying the sink off after each use. Hard Water left to dry on a coating will still leave spots. Might be somewhat easier to clean.

Yeah you missed all the threads about water spotting being a problem with coatings ? I would just apply a normal old can of car wax if anything.

Well you need an industrial type coating which most Coating manufacturers don't make. IGL has a product called Eclipse which is a industrial coating for home, office, farm equipment suspension components etc.

I’d have a purification inline filter under the sink if your water is that hard, but a metal coating couldn’t hurt. Not the same water spots as rain.
Coatings don’t just equal water spots.
