Ceramic Coating SidePipes

I am thinking of getting my Sidepipes Ceramic coated with JET-HOT. They are offereing Sterling Silver or Extreme for the side pipes.

Has anyone used this service before or is there someon else that can do it better , less expensive, and faster.

They are charging $850 + stripping+shipping.

That is way too high. Most costs are $350-$550 including stripping. Side pipes don't need 1000F protection.

My local guy does them for about $250 http://www.directcoating.com . He has a week turnaround and does a nice job. I have been shipping them via UPS in a guitar box. It seems they take a bit more care if they are packing and handling themselves. I have seen some pipes from Jet Hot that had been recoated a couple of times and still weren't covered very well.

It should cost about $500.00. I've use http://www.xtremeperformanceheatcoatings.com/ several times. They do a great job.

I second N2VENOM - I used Xtreme Coatings as well and paid probably half the cost you indicated from Jet-Hot.
Very happy with the work and great people to work with.

local guy did mine last spring. Headers and sidepipes for $300. He would not do the silver, bad for his heath but he did coat them in a dark gray. I liked the silver better but everyone else loves the dark gray with my yellow paint. The gray is a lot easier to keep clean.

They're growing on me.

Make sure you get a shipping quote first. Even if they are paying shipping. Rates have really gone up lately. If you have a UPS account it can be considerably less. I shipped a set of light weight bicycle wheels a few weeks ago for $65. The box was heavier than the wheels.

I had my headers, side pipes, quick jacks and two roll bars coated at Jet Hot. Great job, 2.5 years ago and still looking great..very little maintenance.
