Ceramic coating?

[Farm Boy]

Does anyone know of a shop locally that could ceramic coat a pair of headers? Can't seem to find a set that will fit my needs so I may end up making my own.
What other coatings are there out there to keep them from looking like shit?

:beer:

Was only considering is since I won't have any front fenders to hide them.
Isn't header wrap a bad idea? I forget why but have read that somewhere credible.

I had stainless haeders on a 460 that I used header wrap on. It kept the underhood temp down and may have increased performance (as claimed), but the rotted the headers out. I was none too happy about that as you could imagine.

Header wrap sucks - traps all kinds of mud and water and crap.

Ceramic does much more than just looks - keeps the temps way down. Woth doing.

I think RLD out on or off Albion Rd. does some sort of ceramic like coating.

yeah. RLD is the only place in town that does this stuff...

Yup. Drive by there quite a bit and i've seen signs out front claiming this service among others.

Just spoke with them, seemed like a decent guy.

$225 for their Ceramkrome coating for a pair of shory V8 headers. Not sure if that's a decent price but if they are the only local, perhaps not much of a choice.

IIRC places in the States can be anywhere from $175 to over $300. For the hassle of shipping cross border and everything I'd say $225 locally is doable.
