Default where to have headers ceramic coated???

Hi everyone,

I have a set of headers that have some surface rust on them. While I could clean them up and use some hi temp paint, I would like to know my alternatives, specifically a ceramic coating...

Does anyone know where I should have these done and the approximate cost? Also, what's the specific benefit over a hi temperature paint?

Sincerely,
Josh Meeks

Josh,

Do not know of a local (NC) locale for this process. Check around with speed shops in your area and they can direct you.

I have JetHot coating on both of my Verts. It is great - no discoloration nor any issues with cracking or rust spots.

With the Hi- Temp paint I have found that over time it will eventually wear through (from heat).

JetHot coating should run in the $200-300 range. Good luck.

Jet Hot has a place in Mississippi that you could send them to. Jimmy

Sent my shorties to Jet Hot. Mentioned the Forum and got a discount. They do great work and are a pleasure to deal with. Check the link. It will tell you all about the advantages of ceramic coating.

Jethot has done two sets for me with great results. I'm close enough to drop off at the Pascagoula, MS location.
