When correctly applied, a nano-ceramic coating can last up to 5 years. They are generally more resistant to UV light, harsh weather conditions, grit and road grime, bird droppings, scratches, and sand. They can last for years and can’t be removed by high-pressure washes or automatic car washing stations. 9.
Powder coating is not for headers. FWIW, I have been pricing having a set done and it is some crazy $&@* going on out there with pricing. I can buy a set of new FRPP Fox body headers with ceramic coating for less than I can send a set off and have done. And those are done in Jet Hot.
Jet-Hot coating is a type of ceramic coating applied to exhaust components, such as headers and exhaust systems, to provide heat insulation, corrosion resistance, and a sleek appearance. Proper care is essential to maintain the coating's effectiveness and appearance over time. Here are some general guidelines for caring for Jet-Hot coating:
Am currently looking for a used SP2 head pipe to send to JetHot to have coated in Ti for the Ladybird's.
I have ceramic coated headers on the flatty in the 34 And I followed the same prescription on the HEMI going in the 41 truck. I also have a ceramic set on the 442 and the 396 Camaro. The set on the Olds got real hot during break in (damn Olds) but other than a bit dull the finish has stayed on for 20 years.
LTA showed excellent phase stability up to 1,600°C. The thermal conductivities for LTA coating were in a range of 1.0–1.3 W m −1 K −1 (300–1,500°C). The values of thermal expansion coefficients increased from 8.0 to 11.2 × 10 −6 K −1 (200–1,400°C), which were comparable to those of YSZ.
