Touching up ceramic coating on side pipes
I acquired a small battle scar after the races at VIR. While loading the car back on the trailer, I slipped a little on the wet surface and my header pipe made contact with the side rails of the trailer putting a 6 inch long, very thin scratch along the header pipe. It's not dented and it appears to be NOT down to bare metal but the coating is a little charded along the scratch line. I thought about a ceramicoat style product sold by JC Whitney for @$30 per quart. Curious if anyone has had any sucess with this product or one similar to it. My pipes are silver ceramic, and the whitney product looks to be a similar color. Seems like the plan would be to clean the surface and then using an artist brush, fill in the line, let it air dry, heat cure it, and then finely sand it with 600 or even 1000 paper. Appreciate any help out there.
thanks
