What kind of paint to use on headers I got knocked last year for having rusty lookin stock headers, so I was wondering what kind of paint to use on the visible portion of the headers

Re: What kind of paint to use on headers POR 15 makes a brush on product. I painted my entire exhaust system (from the ceramic coated headers) back. Now I know that portion of the exhaust does nto get as hot as a header, but it worked great, and looks good too!

Re: What kind of paint to use on headers i used por 15 factory manifold gray. i bought some el cheapo foam brushes at home depot and they werked fine. it is a good idea to use a real thin brush like 1/2 inch to get into the bends of the headers. also the paint tends to be real liquidy so it takes some time. when i did my headers, i put on 4 coats.

Re: What kind of paint to use on headers I hear just plain old bar-b-que grill paint works great. I have never used it but I hear it is some good stuff. I think most Autozone's and Walmart's carry it. Ya could give it a try.
