I would give it a try but I don't have an oven big enough to cure the coating. Columbia Coatings has it also, that's where I get my powdercoating supplies.

The guy in the thread says you don't need to use an oven. He lets the car bake them.

What about heat lamps? In my High School auto shop they used to powder coat frames using heat lamps. It took a long time but it would be worth it! I wonder if it would get hot enough for ceramic?

I read somewhere before putting them on the car, you could use a torch and heat the inside of the header tubes to cure the coating. I thought it was a good idea.
