Who gave up on Ceramic coating?? - 04/09/13 12:42 PM
My headers ceramic coating has flaked off. Has anyone just painted over with good results or is it just better to have them coated again??

VHT 1500 Ceramic. Pretty good stuff for rattle can.
I have eventually had problems with all the coatings on all my headers including Hooker's ceramic coating.
With one exception; CCP Coatings out of Michigan. It looked different out of the box. Slicker and shinier than any of the others, more like what I think ceramic should look like. All the others looked somewhat duller and rougher in texture.
CCP is all I intend to use in the future.
One thing I always do on start-up is to have a cheap Harbor Freight laser temp gun in hand. I use it for more than the headers.

Who made the headers? The metal obviously was not prepped. Poor workmanship seems to be th norm these days!!
