i was wondering what kind or if any kind of spray paint will live up to the heat from headers?

and if not do header wraps work all that great? i have heard some bad stuff bout rust with them?

thanks all!!

 

i think the header wraps are more for sheilding the wires close to the headers. not sure about the header paint, but maybe a high temp engine paint is what you're looking for?

 

We tried a high temp paint on some pacesetters a friend of mine has, only lasted a couple days. I haven't seen any paint that will last.

 

I don't think any paint will stand up to the heat the headers see. You are better off doing a wrap or having them coated.

I've seen some people spray the vht paint onto headers and them do pretty well

 

x2. I have always had good luck with the vht paint. its supposed to be good to 2000 degrees.

 

my friend used high temp paint on his headers... the reason when people do paint them and dont last is because they dont clean/sand them down good enough... my friend has a sand blaster so that made it a lil easier on him... paint came out real good it's been about 4 months and the paint is holding up pretty good there are some spots that bubbled n peeled off but not that bad

 

Can anyone link me to this VHT Paint they are referring to? Thank you.

mine did not last very long

 

Any header paint will burn off quickly

 

The wrap is for insulation only. It will cause your headers to rust out prematurely.
