stripped new headers, VHT painted
I got the correct set of headers off of summit for my blazer, the cheap $125 ones and didn't want them to look like crap after the first run so i sand blasted best i could ( my compressor sucks ) and then marine cleaned them, washed them off and did 3 coats of paint, 2 light 1 heavy with VHT header paint rated up to 2000 degrees....ill update when i put them on and get my exhaust done how well they hold up

Re: stripped new headers, VHT painted
Looks good - is there a heat cycle recommendation from VHT before you begin to drive regularly? curious to know how these hold up, you'll have to update this thread once you been able to rack up some miles.

Re: stripped new headers, VHT painted
I hate to be a kill-joy but I never had any luck with ANY header paint and finally just bit the bullet and spent the $$$$ for a set with ceramic coat.

Re: stripped new headers, VHT painted
were the headers stripped first or sand blasted or did you paint over the other paint?

Re: stripped new headers, VHT painted
You have to strip them. I think the paint will burn off if you don't.
