Bump for durability. How well has it held up? Did you use the primer and clear coat, or just the paint?

My Jet Hot coated O2 housing looks great to this day. I had sent my JM Fab header out for Swain Tech' White Lightning coating, which lasted less than a year before cracking and peeling off the hottest portions of the runners, which makes it look like hell. I'm tempted to send it out to Jet Hot at the end of the race season. Swain says there stuff will not survive high temps where thermal expansion occurs, so no warranty coverage on a header.

I used this stuff on my manifold heat shield. I used a heat management rally trick and drilled 2" holes over the middle runners and the collector area.

However, the flame proof was used on the cover 1 for appearance and 2 to protect the exposed areas from exposure since its right under the vent. So far its held up great.

I used that VHT on my stock exhaust manifold cover because it looked like crap. Hard to see in the picture but it looks a lot nicer
