I have a FM turbo manifold I was thinking of getting ceramic coated. I called FM about their coating and was told they don't do it anymore because the manifold gets so hot it starts to peel off over time. I still think some kind of coating is better then none. I called around locally and got some pricing. Some cheap, some very expensive. Then I saw at the auto store they sell it in spray cans thats rated for up to 2000 degrees. Does anyone have experience with the spray. Thanks for your input.

The auto-store paint peels off instantly.

Look into Swain. I had their coating on my turbo manifold for 10 years before selling the kit. Ran track days etc with no issues.

Swain or Jet-Hot. One of them, if not both, have a lifetime warranty on the coating I believe...

Jet-Hot is good stuff.

I did get a price from Jet-hot, $230 for the manifold.

Polydyne did a full custom turbo cold side in Silver (including the intake manifold) and hot side in black (including the exhaust manifolds and turbo back housing) for me. A year later they look like they were just installed. Of course, I wipe down the bay religiously but I have had zero bonding, chipping or flaking issues.
