yes. if you do it, make sure all parts are 100% buffed with the 3M pads, completely dust- and grease free. follow the pint instructions and heat cycles:

2 thin coats, 1 wet coat. let sit and dry for an hour.
then 30 min at 200 F
then 30min cool
then 30 min at 400 F
then 30min cool
then 30 min at 600 F
then cool

you will need a fixture that allows positioning without parts touching and colliding.

that's why it's $50 or more and not just a $9 can

Or just 90 mins at 900 degrees

Definitely go with PHL if you are considering this. Had mine done, it looks and sounds amazing. Also, my flapper is unplugged and the cable is removed and I have no codes...

Thanks Phl.

As I understand VHT Paint is not the real ceramic coat or the ceramic powder coat commonly used by enthusiasts for their heat resistant properties. The heat resistance offered by real ceramic coat actually prevents heat loss from the exhaust pipes and therefore improves exhaust efficiency.

However, the ceramic properties contained in a bottle of VHT is significantly less than the real ceramic coat and therefore lacks much of the desired properties. Therefore, while the VHT paint may not fade or react to extreme heat, it does not have the equivalent performance gains offered by real ceramic coat.

Well known companies that provides "ceramic coat" goes through a much more intensive process and the coatings are plasma-sprayed (not aerosol paint) hence the higher cost but it would be nice to make that distinction in your advert for those who are unaware
