I had a set coated at a place called Baxter Engineering in St. Augustine, FL about 15 years ago, very expensive, over $450 at the time but they still look like they were just done. You can't beat that stuff off with a hammer. They said is wasn't an ordinary ceramic coating but a formula and process used by NASA. Unfortunately they are no longer in business. Sorry I'm of no help but if I could find somebody using that stuff today I'd gladly pay the price as these things will probably still be good 50 years from now.

I agree no to jet hot. Had the same problems with a set I did. Haven't found a good spot, tried a local company same results. Heard alot of positive comments on oc coatings. But nitro plate is alot closer to you.

I have used both Nitroplate and QC. Nitroplate must have had a bad day when my hedders were there. It was a terrible job from start to finish. I won't bore you with the details, but suffice to say it sucked. QC on the other hand rocked. Much, much better quality all the way around. Plus, they even re-boxed the hedders to get the return shipping cost down. And they did that on their own, no prodding from me. 
Master, again and still
