Have chrome on my Cobra pipes, but I built custom headers for my '73 Vette (BBC motor) and had them Jet-Hot coated. BTW this car is also garaged and never sees rain.

After only maybe 500 miles in a few years, the coating is starting to peel off!! First the coating dulled and turned from shiny and smooth to rough and sandy... Then it stayed that way until now it is peeling off. I suspect poor prep for the peeling, but the roughening I can only attribute to oxidation under heat (?).

NOT impressed with Jet-Hot.

There used to be another ceramic coater in the valley (in Chandler?). I forget the name, but I would look them up if I were doing it again...

My opinion.
