What makes CeraKote useless?

I don't think so, I know for sure, the ceramic coating is not a spray can, although today there are many "experts" who sell ceramic coating products and in reality they are parts painted with cerakote....

Sorry but you can't discount my coating as useless just because it's from CeraKote. It's true they offer ceramic paint products, but the Glacier Black is a thermal barrier. It reduced the floorboard heat quite a bit on my car.

Also, even though it's a cold-applied product it requires a few progressive heat cycles to bake itself in and cure.

Inconel thermal shielding >

I was able to touch my shielded downpipe and manifold between HPDE sessions (~ an hour cool down). Hood temps weren't scorching hot.

+1 for Cerakote Glacier Black; https://www.cerakote.com/shop/cerako...-glacier-black

Also paired with DEI Titanium exhaust wrap will cover all your bases.
