High Temp Clear Coat recommendation?

[bflint]

Want to redo my "engine side covers" which are polished and clear coated. The clear coat is starting to peal. Do you folks have High Temp Clear Coat recommendation? Looked around forums and internet, but no one had a specific brand they used (or spray can vs bulk for spray unit).

I contacted dealership Parts and he said that Honda uses clear powder coat (did not know that even existed). He said if pealing, probably best just to strip with remover and manually polish occasionally. Did more research and seems that the spray can clears that advertise as high temp (various claims from 300 degree to 500 degree to 2000 degree) have much user feedback is that they don't last because they are not two-part with a catalyst. Discovered a two-part called Eastwood Exo-Armour that you can apply with an hvlp sytem (which I have) ... not cheap put seems reliable. Seems like most popular finish is GLOSS, so I assume that would best match whats on our CB1100's. TTFM

I use Cerakote 156 on my head fins after polishing, been a couple of years and they still look good. Haven't used their aluminum coat yet.

Retsel: Ceramic-treated (or similar technology) header pipes? Looks nice.

I believe this is the same bike that Retsel had his header pipes Jet-Hot coated. He started this thread on the subject:

Thanks suhawk. I knew it looked familiar. :-/

Yep, sorry for the delayed response, Jet Hot it is.

Wierd though, that is not a photo of my 2014 standard! I have a Staintune can on mine and the reflectors were removed prior to the Jet Hot. My house was also white with similar siding. Felt like I walked into the twilight zone until I gave the photo a closer inspection!
