Default Painting ceramic headers

Hey guys. Had a question. Bought hooker longtubes 3 years ago. Of course the car gets stored during the winter months, however they are starting to look ratty. Very upset, but such is life. Was wondering if anyone has used the vht paint on there ceramic headers with any lucky or other options. As always thanks.

Just prep them like normal, and bomb on the paint. BUT, it won't last as long as you'd like. You'll be doing it again every year.

BUT.. a good ceramic coating should easily last more than 3 seasons. You'd be better off taking the headers off and getting a quality ceramic coat on them.

What do you mean by looking ratty? Just discolored, showing rust, turning black? A picture would be nice.
