Jet Hot vs. Tech Line Thermal Coating
I've searched around here and found several of you have had your headers coated with the "Jet Hot" thermal coating & I've gotten a quote from them...
But... I can get the work done locally in Tampa with a "Tech Line" coating which seems to have very similar properties and the same 3 year warranty $15 less, no shipping to deal with, and the shop is 1 mile from my office so the question is Anyone use thermal coatings manufactured by "Tech Line" ?
The local shop offers the coatings in "GreyIce" and "BlackSatin" 1800 and 2400 degrees respectively so feedback on them would be best.

I've got the Jet-Hot 2000 on my Kooks and I really like it. There isn't any noticeable difference in underhood temps. The coating is really tough and should last quite a long time. The main reason I got it is to help combat metall fatigue. The Jet-Hot Sterling is not heat rated high enough for our trucks. Your local place probably uses a very similar coating. I would just go with them....
