Has anybody here used Jet Hot to resurrect and old set of burnt up or rusty Bassetts? If so, how does it look? I mean does it water spot easily? Are they hard to keep clean?
Thanks,
Steve
P.S. I'm looking for guys with personal experience as opposed to speculation on this one thanks.
CU, years ago I had my old rusty headers coated (off my '55 Chev) and they turned out great. Looked beautiful all the time. Extremely easy to clean. Never had coated headers on a boat, but water and oil would clean up nicely. Hope this helps. 1QJ

Had my Bassett thru-transom headers coated by Jet Hot 3 years ago.
They had problems getting the original chrome plating off.
What I got back from Jet Hot was rough, as you could see pitting on the tubes which they coated over. (these headers were not rusted, only blued chrome).
Sent them back for a re-coat and the results were not much better.
After lakecrazy's post, let me just add that my headers were not chromed to begin with. They were some sort of high temp paint. Cermatech in Compton did 'em. Also the finish was not that bad to begin with, so consider what lakecrazy said regarding how they look before you send them off. If they look ok, then they will probably turn out ok. If they look bad, then they will probably look bad afterward. My .02 1QJ
Hey guys,
I just emailed Jet-hot coatings for a quote and this is what they told me:
Ty,
It would run $299 to coat your headers inside & out with our Sterling

need them here for 5-10 days plus shipping time. Return shipping would be
$27.
