Ceramic coating for headers (Chicago area)

[black69]

Bought some reproduction factory headers for my 68 z/28 and wondered of there are any good recommendations for ceramic coaters in the Chicagoland area.
I can find a few, but wondered if there were some recommendations.

Here is a place in Rockford that I have heard good things about:

I have used both places....both are very good at what they do. If I have to pick one for Headers...I would choose Lo-Ko Performance.

I think the color depends on who I would use.

LO-KO has been doing NicKeys headers since we opened our doors. New cars and Vintage as well.

Are you guys using people that do hi temp coatings or ceramic? I had jet hot do a set of manifolds that look beautiful and have a set of headers I need done. I am not crazy about the price! I have a friend that used a local powder coater for headers and I didnt know if they would stay nice or not

Hi Bill, I would just call the folks that do the ceramic and ask them what the difference is. I would surmise its the better top end temperature rating of the material they use.
