exhaust wrap :nono: anyway… swaintech is the real deal. You won’t find a thicker ceramic coating anywhere and to remove it you literally have to grind it off. Most of the other places basically have thick paint. I guess if you’re looking for the blingy color, send it wherever. If you want a thick durable coating that insulates go with swaintech. ---

I had a bad experience personally with the cheaper jet hot stuff and have heard nothing but great things about swain. I would go swain. ---

> [@LAFENGAS](#): > > I guess you’re not as concerned about the functionality as you had once said. yup, got me there! Honestly? white? that will look great until the first time i…drive it. I am also not too keen on painting over it with a high temp rattle can, has anyone actually done this and had good results? The only time i have ever seen “high temp paint” hold up was high temp POR15 we put on my old headers before they were put on my friends Camaro. It was applied with a brush, it looked good as far as free long tubes go, but not something i would want to do on this. ---

Just bring it over to the shop [http://www.jet-hot.com/headercoatings.html](http://www.jet-hot.com/headercoatings.html) The sterling that came on my set of Hooker Headers looked like death and was flaking off within a year of ownership. ---

However, painting on top of the swaintech coating has advantages not only because some of the heat is insulated within the ceramic layer but also because its such a rough surface it holds the paint well. The stuff feels like 100 grit sand paper. But then again I’m just defending a performance coating when in reality most people just want something colored. Does jethot do pink? Edit: Don’t forget that ceramic IS white. ---

Turbols1ss has the jet hot extreme stirling on his Camaro turbo hot pipes, It was fine for the first year, until he installed the 2 step, which i would imagine increases temperatures significantly and would probably explain the “fading”. In no place is it flaking off. Also, the headers i just sold were coated by jet hot, no flaking or fading at all after 2 seasons. I made this post simply to get information on other options for coating, as i have not had to explore other options before. I dont want it colored, so the smart ass comments are not necessary. ---

My own experience with Jet-Hot was my '04 WRX. Did extreme on a PDE up pipe. Looked like new after two winters. Sterling on a turboxs stealthback. Also looked like new when I took it off after two winters. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/anyplace-locally-do-ceramic-coating/78322.md?page=1)
