Ceramic Coating in Central Jersey?

I figured I'd kill 2 birds with one stone in this thread...

First question; does anyone know of a good ceramic coating place in central Jersey?

Second question; does anyone know if you can ceramic coat a header that has already been ceramic coated? I bought my car with Grot headers and had my custom header back system made with them on(ball and socket flanges). The headers don't really need to be re-coated but I was seeing if I can get that done if I wanted to in the future. I am not sure if you can strip ceramic coating. I would like to get SS headers but that would also mean another trip to Mufflex to modify my y-pipe.

Thanks for any info.

Marc

Johnson's Powder Coating in Burlington.
7 Elbow Lane
Burlington , NJ 08016
609-239-8666

I have dealt with these guys for various items, Valve Covers, Intake, Headers (Re-Coat)

Price is inline with most other places and the turn around is good. My intake and valve covers turned out great. The header re-coat turned out good, but the didn't last quite as long as I would have hoped. Probably not their fault, but just my experience.

my intake and valve covers in the upper right:

a pic of my headers are attached. They came out great, but the collectors are starting to show signs of flaking. I am sure it is more difficult to re-coat a set and get good adhesion then to coat a set for the first time.

I've talked to the guys at Johnson's too, I was looking for alternatives to sending my headers to Jet Hot. Seemed like a stand up guy - quoted me a good price.

Looking around it seems like the norm is anywhere from $200-275.
