Guys,
I did my own coatings and am happy with the results. I got the materials from Tech Line
in Texas. www.techlinecoatings.com

Cermakrome is the metallic ceramic coating like Jet Hot and others use. It is a bit of work to apply, but it holds up well and looks great. I did all my small brackets in my oven at home, and for my headers and pipes I used a local powdercoaters oven. I put the Black header coat over the cermakrome on the headers and pipes. Just be sure to oven cure it, and then run the engine till they just start to smoke, shut it off for a while, and repeat until you don't get any smoke from the coating. This dries the solvents out gradually, preventing blistering.
I ran pretty hard at Cobrafest and the coating still looks perfect so far.

You know the saying, If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Later,
David
