[TR] Heat resistant paint

[v6spitfireguy at cox.net]

Who did your ceramic coat?  I have had all my headers ceramic coated buy
Jet Hot and never had a problem.  The headers on the Spitfire were one of
the first set of headers that they ever coated many many years ago (over
twenty), and they still look great, just a slight dulling of the finish,
but I can certainly live with that.  The headers on the truck are only 7
years done, but they still look like new -- I wouldn't use any other method
and am surprised that yours didn't last -

I have seen on some of the performance tv shows ( shhh hot rod shows :-)
), use of exhaust wrap.  They claim that it keeps the engine bay cooler
and is less prone to falling apart like paint etc.

I had the headers ceramic coated on the ex's mustang years ago and the
coating peeled off within a year.  Won't be travelling down that road
again.
