Default Best Ceramic Coating

Which is the best coating to use on headers? I want to have the coating that will last the longest. I have had performance coatings on the last set I installed. They started to show spots after about a year. How is Jet coating?

Jet hot coating IMO is the best. Had it on a couple cars i have had and no problems.

I had JetHot Coating on my LT Headers and flaked off. The coating developed bubbling, rusted and flaked off. That was after a year and the car was not daily driven. At the time, I lived in Virginia and there is all kinds of weather there. If you live an dry area of the country, you may or may not have these issues. I ended up going with 304 Stainless Steel for my LT Headers and no rust and 2 years.

My headers are 304 stainless but I still had them Jet Coated over a year ago and they still look like brand new. This isn't my daily driver but I probably have close to 10,000 miles on them.

Precision Motorsports of Florida does a 2000º ceramic coating that will stand up to anything. My Kooks are ceramic coated Cherry Red and never get any hotter than 145ºF.

Just curious, where are you taking this reading at? and how long had the engine been running?
I have coated headers and even after shutting it off after a pass it's much hotter than that.
