Ceramic Coating

Since I have the engine out of the car, I'm thinking of getting the headers ceramic coated.. Just wondering how much it costs and if anyone does it on Long Island??? If not I'll send them out...Thanks

Here is my quote from JetHot, who is really the leader of this technology in my opinion.

If you are adding a top coat color on your parts the turn time is 8 - 10 business days. If your parts require a strip you need to add an additional 3 days to the turn time. If you are getting any JH2000 or engine internals coated we will need your parts for 10 - 12 business days.Note: Turn times are approximate, but held to strictly in all plants. TECHNICAL BENEFITS: Technical benefits of our coatings vary depending on which coating you choose. Some of the thing you can count on getting are the following: STERLING (Silver finish 1300F): Reduced under hood temperatures by 50 degrees, keeps exhaust pipes about 300F cooler, 1 - 3% HP gain with a properly tuned motor. Discolors at 1100F. EXTREME STERLING (1700F): Has all the benefits of sterling plus the following. Handles 200F higher temperatures than sterling, provides 100F - 200F more insulation than the sterling. Discolors at 1300F. Both the Sterling and the Extreme Sterling offer the following: A great look, no discoloration within called out temperature ranges, reduced under hood temperatures, reduced skin temperatures on exhaust pipes, thermal barrier protection, extended part life (up to 10 times), horsepower gains of 1 - 3% with a properly tuned motor, corrosion protection, resists stains, and a cleanable finish. COLORS: Have all of the technical benefits of the sterling, but they are not as cleanable. JH2000: This coating doesn't offer the insulation that the sterling or the extreme sterling offers, but it can handle high temperatures for turbo applications, supercharged applications, etc. It handles up to 2400F it comes in a rough sandpaper finish (150 grit) and is only available in black, gray, or blue. All parts receive a 3 year limited guarantee that covers chipping, peeling, cracking, and rusting. IF you take care of the pieces properly the coverage is 100% of the cost recoating. After the 3 years is up we will recoat at 20% off current retail. You will be responsible for shipping both ways no exceptions.

We use a chrome ceramic finish coating that is rated to 1700 degrees. Our price is 275 to coat a set of long tune headers. If they are slightly rusted it is no big deal and will be the same price. If the rust is heavy I will have to see if they are worth costing. All graders are medianlasted new or old to promote adhesion then they are coated inside and out. This helps keep temps cooler and keeps the inside from rusting out. Our warranty on new headers are three years and one year on used. If you have problems after this I will work with you and if we caused the problem we will recoat them for you. The ceramic we use holds up well even on turbo housings so you shouldn't. Have problems on headers.

Header wrap is better for heat retention and is about 80 bux for the kit with clamps n spray in black your choice

I bet but I'm more going for looks

Ahhh that's a differ story
