Vht makes them, I think the primer is just engine primer but the clear is made for exhaust, easiest way I can think to find them is from their site get the part numbers, the primer is sp100, I don't know the clear coat number, then hit amazon with the number average is $11.00 a can

Cool! Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. I have had the headers with the ceramic coating. They worked really well and held up great.
