Header Paint
Just wondering if anyone has ever painted there headers and if the paint actaully worked. I have mine off the motor and the are all discolored and just wanted to see if it's a worth while investment in time.

I ment stainless steel headers, lol. Do they make stainless paint? It would be cool if they did.

[QUOTE=black00TA]you dont even need to bake them, just make sure the car is started up with them on the car within 6 hours of the paint being applied.
i used some of this paint on some headers for my friends bronco and within 2 months it had pretty much all come off.[/QUOTE
Decided not to bake them for some reason longtubes won't fit in the oven. When I get the motor mid week I guess I'll throw them on and let them bake themselves.
