Re: pretty headers?

what kind did you use. I have used vht flameproof paint and has been on my headers since 1985 black and it still looks great but prep is the key.

Re: pretty headers?

I've used grey VHT on an aluminum r/c truck pipe. No possible rust but it held up well to the heat and oil/goo crap

Re: pretty headers?

I've used Eastwood high temp coatings. It was the brush on stuff. LOng lasting. Easy to touch up too. Never had any luck with VHT.
