JET-HOT Problem?
Today I took my C4 to to my guy (200 mile trip and what a nice sunny
day, just a little dusty from the road salt) for upgrades and jet-hot coating of the complete superram. I brought my new tranny pan, which I had jet-hot coated in the winter (copper color). Took it out of the box and I was 
. The copper coating falling off like dry skin. Will call jet-hot tomorrow and see for free replacement. It cost me $85 to have it coated and $27 to ship it to me. $112 total to jet-hot. They should without question, pay for shipping back, coating (again) and for the shipping back
. Has anyone ever seen jet-hot just flake off a brand new part?? I loved there product from being a past customer, but this is just too weird

Spoke with JET-HOT coatings this morning and they will be picking up my pan free of charge , recoat the pan free of charge , and ship it back free of charge . Still do not understand how a brand new tranny OEM pan with JET-HOT copper coating started to flake off as easy damaged paint
. Hopefully when it is sent back it will be in perfect order

My headers are a couple years old and have held up well, no rusting or flaking of the coating. I did go for the shiny ceramic coating though.

The key is in the prep work. The pan was probably coated with mineral oils and such during the MFG process. The parts need to be chemically cleaned and dried before any coating process. Other possibilities are a misformulation in the properties of the Jet coating, Application method etc etc. Reguardless they are replacing it for free which is IMHO. Mistakes happen but folks that stand behind their work to try and resolve issues always make me a return customer.

Just curious, but why would you want to jet-hot a tranny pan? Wouldn't that keep it from expelling heat? I realize the tranny has a cooler, and the pan probably isn't finned, but some heat would still go out there, it's got a pretty big surface area.
