Anyone know the steps? I want to Heat Coat my Exhaust Mani but don't want to go through the hassle of shipping. I don't want to use heat wraps either. My Mani is polished right now. I remember trying to coat my Downpipe and the Paint just ran down the pipe and looked horrible. Am I suppose to sand the polish off first and make it rough? Thanks.

Where are you located? Why not have it done locally?

I'm located in Sac...I don't know any shops that can do it around here. I looked in the yellow pages but haven't found anything.

Technically no but the process is the same just different material. Most powder coaters do Ceramic coating also, you'll have to call and ask.
