The Cerakote was only $18 and took me way less time than driving to Walmart and having them do it. Not that I trust those idiots. Good to know though, in case I ever get to where I can’t do things myself. Oh wait- that would mean I’m dead so never mind! :p :p :p :p

Edit: I remembered reading in the instructions that you can’t do two coats- once it’s applied it’s a done deal and adding another coat will make it hazy. If they used Cerakote, you’re stuck. They should have warned you- instructions said don’t drive the vehicle or touch them for at least 2 hours. Those are some real expensive headlights, aren’t they? Man I hope they look good still. Here’s their Q&A on it:

“We do not recommend trying to touch-up areas, as this product quickly becomes chemically resistant once dry. This product is a one-coat application; more than one coat will have a cloudy appearance.”
I just had them re-do that one headlight and I'm good to go, had a mobile one oil change done at the same time so killed 2 birds.

Must not be Cerakote then. Probably snake oil. Kidding. What warranty do they give you? Cerakote is for as long as you own the car, although all they do is refund you the price of their product. Walmart can’t be spending any time on them if they’re doing it for 26 bux though. I’d be leery for that price. But I’m leery of anyone touching my vehicles.

No warranty as far as I know I didn't read the fine print for $26 I didn't expect one to be honest I just didn't feel like doing it. I'll clean everything else though lol

looks good but those worm clamps will start to leak in about 2-3 years at the most, maybe sooner facing down like that
these adapters are the sizes needed if you even wanted to make it leak proof
need 2 of each size for plug-n-play with the trucool

So far mine haven't leaked at all since installing the Derale 13960 back in 2021. But I just bookmarked this for when they do. Thank you for the post.

mine leaked (after a while) and I don't know about the chevy grillls but on my gmc I couldn't even reach them to try tighten them up without pulling the grill or bumper off so I researched the sizes needed to adapt the trucool thread to ANC and gm quick connect to ANC and just did a permanent fix and I had to relocate it anyway because it was making the engine get hot under a heavy load in the summer. I have to kind of wonder too if my clogged 3rd cat was creating part of the heat problem I guess I will find out this summer.
doing a 100mph up a steep upgrade at 8000ft when it's 80deg out will stress the oem cooling regardless lol
