Well after 2 failed attempts with the VHT Flameproof, we've come to the conclusion that their claims of 1300-2000 are entirely bogus. The collector area can survive the prescribed curing process on the can, but it can't survive a short 2 minute drive. Total crap - stripped to bare metal and used their primer and still FAIL. I'll never use it again. Went to Home depot and purchased the white BBQ style paint (BBQ on the label) for $4/can and it is sticking. It has discolored to a bisque type color at the collector and tip, and the muffler section remains very white for now. At least it is sticking and I'll have to live with the discoloration for now until ceramic coating will fix all ills. This has been a time consuming project and I don't want anybody to have to go through this again.
