I had a set of headers coated inside and outside by Airborne Coatings which
is the same as the Jet Hot coating. I really like the way they performed. No
bluing and they ran cooler than stock. I did not like the appearance. The
coating does not go on smooth and did not look as silky as advertised. I also had
some run spots on one header due to the sandblasting not get all the chrome off
before they coated the headers, I sent them back and they redid them but I
still had the "paint runs" and the appearance did not look any better.
