chrome powder coat is for show only, you cannot clear it without loosing the luster, and without clear, the color gets ashy
the ceramic coating at precision is going to be your best bet and it is actually functional at reducing temps
my block and exhaust as well as manifold will be coated if not more (depends how crazy i get) my calipers go in thursdayish for the treatment as well.
