Anyone successfully "painted" their own headers?
Anyone successfully "painted" their own headers? I am going to be buying some used Macs that were painted black w/ 1500 degree paint, and then baked in the oven. I would think that this stuff is still going to burn off and cause a smoke screen <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> . Has anyone successfully done it?

Re: Anyone successfully "painted" their own headers? I did it with brush on por15 that did not require baking. It smoked for the first 10 minutes as it cured from the heat, but after that, no smoke and is holding up great thus far.
Re: Anyone successfully "painted" their own headers? I just installed a set of Macs coated with a can of high temp 1500 paint. It too burned for the first 20 minutes then it was fine. Days later it still looks black and no chipping so my guess would be go for it.

Yep! Those were my headers he installed. I used VHT 1500 Degree Flameproof Coating from Jegs.
I actually used a total of 4 cans on the headers and the y-pipe (offroad).
