Has anyone had there headers coated? Where did you have it done? Jet Hot?
Other? Did you bother to buff the headers first?
I bought a manifold kit from Eastwood. Getting the speed right on the
carbide burr was a major trick in getting a smooth first pass. The sandpaper
rolls worked pretty good. I now have a 120 grit finish on the entire
headers.
I would like to send them off and have them coated. Jet-Hot quoted me
$195.00 for their sterling silver finish.
There is a place that advertises in the 12 port news, Cap's Brite Hot
Coatings. Anyone use them. I would like to support them if it is
recommended. They coating is called CermaKrome.
If you want to see them click on this link:

The picture isn't great, but you can see I ground off some of the extra
casting material in the joint between the pipes. The entire surface has been
smoothed.
Thanks,
