I know that Jet Hot and VHT (Very High Temperature) were the pioneers of
coating race car parts. But I thought virtually any powder coating company
could do high temperature coatings now days.
VHT has a shop here in
Oklahoma City and I had a set of stock 74 manifolds coated years ago. The
nice part is that they coated them inside and out. That kept the heat from
getting into the metal and sent it out the tail pipe, thus reducing under hood
temperatures.
Now several years later, the coating has gotten rust under
it. It started at any point where the original casting had a pimple or high
spot. I would suggest polishing the outside of what ever you have coated
before it is coated.
VHT also had some very interesting coatings. They
could coat the tops of the pistons to keep heat in the combustion chamber
where you wanted it. They could coat the sides of the pistons with "slick"
stuff to make the pistons slide better and to prevent galling / scuffing.
