I had all my coatings done by jet hot (http://www.jet-hot.com).  Note that
when you first start the car you'll think its on fire since the new coating
had to "burn in" when it first gets hot.  Scared the heck out of me as I saw
piles of smoke coming from my EM area...  Anyhow it seems to be holding up
ok but I've only put about 500 miles on my 4ktq so far.  The stuff I used
for the EM was called "Jet Hot 2000" since it is supposed to take up to
2000+ deg. F.  The stirling silver finish can take up to 1500 I think but it
is very sharp looking.

I have some pictures of the coatings at
