Shawn,
I have used Jet-Hot on several of my street rods. They do a very nice
job and it is lifetime work..never about rust or chipping. Money is
sometimes high dollar, but in the long run you will be more than
satisfied that you chose to have it done. They do inside and out when
they do exhaust or manifold or header. If you want some good info, just
call them and they will answer all your questions. I found them to be
honest.
