Anybody ever do this? What's the procedure? Did you coat the inside as well? Does it last? Thx.

He just painted the outside, so really it's just header paint.

True ceramic coating does the inside too which is a performance gain and lowers underhood temps.

Is that the 4oz tester bottle?
Did one bottle cover both headers? Any left over?

One bottle 14 oz. I believe was more than enough,I didn’t use a quarter of it,so,have plenty left,not sure what else I could spray,and it’s too expensive to waste,so better find something to spray.lol,and the other thing is,it is a chemical so shipping was like $30.00. But,I do like the color.
