You guys bent everything out of proportion!
I merely stated that my ceramic applications have always been good without
any returns or complaints.
I never said anything negative about stainless steel systems.
Where in the below statement do I say anything negative about Stainless???

I will say this about them now. I'm sure glad I don't have a warehouse full
of that custom low volume stainless pipes tying up my operating capitol.
You'd be surprised how much stainless I apply Ceramic Coating to.
Stainless turns yellowish with high temp use on motorcycle pipes and I coat
many of them in Satin Black or Cermakrome finish.
The yellow in no way impairs the life of the stainless product.
