I use a place in Huntington Beach and have been very happy with the results.
I can look up the name when I get to the shop on Monday.

Here they are: http://www.specializedcoating.com/index.htm

The only problem is, the coating will outlast the el-cheapo header...

FYI, other than ceramic coating, they also have a higher temp black coating. Just remember to let the coating bed in outside of the garage for a while - it SMELLS really bad.

The coating may cost as much or more than your header, haha. It's good stuff, though.

They also do some kick ass powder coating:

All done and coated.

I took a recomendation of a LA county company from Mike Nakata.

They are in Vernon, near 710 and 60 freeways.

I have heated and cooled the engine 4 times now and there is no discoloration at all, impressive stuff.
