Default Header coatings? JET-HOT!

Has anyone here, heard of Jet-Hot coatings?
They claim to reduce or contain underhood temperatures.
I am about to send off my headers and FI Air Gap to be coated and I am wondering if anyone else has used their coatings.
Please tell the good or bad.

I ordered my Pacesetter LT hdrs painted cause I wasnt sure if they ceramic coated the inside. Was going to go with Jet Hot but shipping on all my parts (wanted other stuff done) was going to cost way too much. I went to a place up here called Fireball coatings (Ont/Cda). http://www.fireballcoatings.com/inde...id=4&Itemid=12

They blasted, added flanges, cleaned up my weld job on the 2nd o2 bung & coated ceramic inside & outside (30% under hood temps claimed) as well as got their XMC 3 stage coating on the inside also. Its suppose to further reduce underhood temps so they're 70% lower with the ceramic. My ported M1/4BBL has special heat reflecting coating on the under side & their heatsink thermal (disperses heat faster) on the top of it. My blower pistons have ceramic coated tops & moly coating on the skirts.

edit - Oh, & I detailed the M1 with ceramic blue & silver paint myself

Good coatings arent cheap. If you plan to keep your truck a long time (like me) then better make sure the parts & coatings last long too

true but when you only pay 150 for them in the first place. I figured its kinda crazy to spend that much. Not sure what the pre coated ones sell for. I decided to give the Eastwood high temp header paint a try. I figure why not give it a shot. Maybe it will hold up and I can save some people money. **** for 30 bucks a can it better hold up for a while
