CLR use on headers ?
 
I am wondering after seeing the results of clr on oxidized an rusty body panels if you would think the product CLR would work on headers? I have used hi temp paint, BBQ grill paint, I have even seen the brush on header paint turn pink. So any thoughts of this or another product short of getting then jet coated. I am just not ready to spend that money yet. I just want a uniform consistent color that lasts on my headers. Thoughts ideas thanks...

i would b afraid of toxic fumes and health risks when the header gets to temp

bump for some more insight... Not familiar with anyone that has used this process.

What about having them sand blasted, followed by high temp paint?

And cdowns is right. Carefull when you first warm it up a few times till the coating bakes on. Noxious fumes!!
