Default Cam coating/Ceramic Coating

Does anyone know anywhere in the South East (Preferably East Anglia region) that does cam coating/ceramic coating?

I need to get a tubular manifold coated, but can't seem to find anywhere local!

Thanks!

Not really sure, can't remember exactly. It was the top heat temp one in black. It was a really nice black, now it's going abit grey. Do you have to maintain it at all?

Dont do it, its a shite product, 18 months it starts to come off and rust, it
does look good when first done, but it dont last long, Save your money
and get a stainles one done, better of in the long run.

Stainless goes discoloured well before 18 months is up too

The people I know have had valves and pistons done and they are part of a very large international motorsport team
