Header Coatings

docstoy · 09-13-2009, 04:57 PM

Several of you recommended coated shorty headers.CPW sells Sanderson shorties,how well are they coated on the inside of the tube? Got a price of
$320 to coat a set of shorty headers from JETHOT,that is for inside and outside using their EXTREME coating thats supposed to be 400 degrees cooler.Standard silver coating is supposed to be 200 degrees cooler.Has any-
one had their coated headers long enough for the coating to start degrading.
JETHOT has a 3year guarantee on their coating.

I had my headers done about 1 1/2 years ago by a local shop for $150 and they still look the same. They are only 2.8 v6 headers tho.

Long tubes, supercharger, jet hot, 4,500 miles. Look like new.

Hey who is the local shop and are they still in business? Maybe you can get them some business if you list them. I may be interested. What was thei turn around time?

Most any local powder coating service offers ceramic coatings, use a phone book.

If your headers are old a rust covered expect a cleaning fee. Mine were new with only a few scratches from test fitting and shipping when I carried them up there.

my ceramic coated headers, 1st pic is at install, 2nd is at less than 100 miles

That looks like that cheap DIY paint crap they sale at part stores. If you had it done they ripped you a new one.

The company that did mine done a 1 year warranty on them thats long gone now but they still look good.

all i can tell you is don't get them coated from CPW with the 2000 deg coating i got my headers in a silver 2000 deg coating and then i get them open the box open them up then i notice a orange letter in the bottom it said to not touch the headers until they have been on the motor and ran for like 30 mins or something well come to find out from a local shop High Performance Coatings that the coating wasn't cured and thats why they said that. Its got a little rust on it and it hasn't even been ran yet... But they said they would do that nice chrome silver ceramic coating for $195 and it would take 5-7 business days

What? Best I can tell is you had somebody that coated your headers and expected you to cure them and charged you $195.

No no no i bought the headers from Current Performance and the coater he uses has an oven that doesn't get hot enough to cure the coating and a local shop said they would redo it for $195

I'm far from being a grammar nazi but may I suggest at least using commas and periods when you type.
