ive actually had better luck with the rattle can header paint than i have with any ceramic coating or anything like that FWIW.......
after some research & asking around, a guy on another forum told me about a place not too far, worth the drive, that will ceramic coat them inside & out for $175. they said they can add a thermo barrier for another $100. best part about it is they need some signs & stuff so we'll be working a trade.
NICE!Quote:

no, but i'll be sure to ask. depending on what he needs from me i may just ending up getting the works!!!
i'll probably be bring them to him next week. i have a guy coming to see the motor in my truck tonight. if he wants it, which he says he does, i'll be starting to my motor tomorrow & my swap will officially be on it's way.
coating inside will also reduce the inside diameter some and usually dont lead to a smooth surface. id do the outside only. my turbo headers are coated and there holding up so far, ive seen the entire header glowing red and still in decent shape
^ This makes sense... not sure I've seen coating the inside and such before...
are yours just ceramic coated or do they have a thermo barrier?Quote:

funds are running out very quickly now, all the nickle & dime stuff is adding up quickly.
