Jet Hot does do ceramic coating, I bought my headers from them ceramic coated but they put silver flakes or something of the sort in their coatings.

If Im not mistaken the Jet Hot are just like ceramic except for the fact that they have silver flakes in the Jet Hot. I just installed my Jet Hot Hooker L/Ts on my Z28 yesterday and they look awsome. The coating was great on them.

JetHot is a name brand of ceramic coating. They say they use silver dust in their coating for appearence. Also JetHot offer a life time warranty on the coating. If they ever rust you can send them back to be recoated at no charge.
