Default Coating Spray?

I just bought some LT's but I got the cheap ones from pacesetter that arent coated is there any kind of spray you can buy and do them yourself.

Nope, everything you can buy "over the counter" is going to burn up and rust the **** off. You should have bought the coated ones lol. The black paint that's on them is your best bet. I've always liked the wrapped headers look. It will help keep the temps down under the hood and look sweet.

FX Coatings is a board sponsor and they actually do ceramic coating.

VHT 1500* spray can paint will work best...but it will still burn off fairly quickly. Sorry-I think you should have got Ceramic Coated--if not used..exchange them..you will be glad you did.
