Default DIY Ceramic Coating?
Has anyone ever used any DIY products on their headers? If so how was the quality?

If the headers were used and slightly rusted, have them sandblasted and
try Eastwood co. manifold paint. They have different colors now and they
recommend one coat only w/ sponge brush.

Thats a good product. Plus the Mrs. doesn't get mad when you are trying to bake your exhaust parts in her oven
