I’m looking to get my Downpipe coated what are you guys doing to yours? What holds up durable wise and maintains its color ? I’m in SoCal if any recommendations in my area that would be appreciated as well thank you
 
When Lou Czarnota was in business I'm pretty sure he used Cali coat. Others might jump in and confirm or deny.

@SpoolFool did some REALLY nice stuff on his car, you might want to contact him.

I like the DEI brand Titanium wrap.

Here's as much as I know.

There are different brands and qualities of ceramic coats. I've had the best luck when I also ceramic coat the inside of downpipes. This helps keep the outside look good for longer. Also, helps keep the heat in. They have different coatings for the inside. As I remember, it was black and thicker than the pretty stuff they use on the outside. The chrome colors don't seem to hold up as well. They fade to a sort of titanium color over time. My recommendation is to go ahead and coat it a titanium color. That way as it fades, it'll still match. We used to be able to get good quality coatings in California. Over the last ten years, it has been a struggle some times. Over all, I'd have to say that I've had the best luck with Specialized coatings in Huntington Beach. Not sure if they have the "good stuff" right now though.

That color in the pic is titanium?
 
This is the first time using the DEI Titanium so I don’t know.
The cool it brand fiberglass wrap was a tan color and held up well. The last time using it I sprayed it with their special black coating (spray paint). You didn’t want to hit it directly with the power washer at the car wash.
 
Does that wrap stay black like that or fade fast once it gets heat?
