Lightbulb Painted Pacesetter/ Repainting before install question????

I received the wrong headers from LS1 Speed. They gave me a nice store credit, so I decided to just keep the painted ones.

I plan to take a wire brush to them this weekend. After that's done, I'm gonna coat them with Redline POR 21. I think once that coat dries, I'll use a nice high-temp gloss black paint.

Does this sound like a good plan?

What route would you guys go?

It's an aluminum colored HEADER paint produced by REDLINE. It's $30 for a can. I plan to top that off with a coat of high gloss 1500 paint from CHECKERS.

As for the cam.. I have a TR230 that will be installed at the same time as the headers....

Cool, how long have they been on the car and about how many miles?
Very curious because if I get LTs I may not get coated ones either.

Z28Venom, any links to that Redline or Checkers 1500 stuff?
