Jet Hot...or not?, For heat exchangers Options

[Lavanaut]

Want to have some heat exchangers Jet Hot'd, but do realize that that's just a brand name (despite seemingly being the standard). Wondering if anybody out there has any strong feelings, good or bad, based on experience?

Thanks

My dad had some corvette Hooker Sidepipes coated by them. when they arrived, we were both drooling over them. They look pretty nice, but we made the mistake of polishing them exactly as the directions stated ironically and we came up with every single imaginable swirl mark. Now this is different from 914 stuff because you aren't worried about looks too much.

carr914:
I don't know how the coating held up to a 914 burning. in the first run, we managed to burn off all the coating around the down tubes because it was running a little lean with the free flowing exhaust. My dad was not a happy camper, and jet-hot refused to recoat the headers. it was only running a little hot too, didn't even get the pipes red, which is what they claim it will withstand.

I will never get another jet-hot coated anything sadly...I'll stick with the old fashion ceramic paint in a spray can.

Sorry guys, just don't want people to have the sam ordeal.
BTW: this was with their crazy coating too, so it should have lasted! but it does look decent I guess...
