Default header coating shops in Houston?

Where can i go to coat some headers i just bought, looking for some reasonable prices around town. Or does anyone know a DIY to coat them with high heat paint?

I used Polydyne Coatings in Houston. I'm not sure who else does it but they charged me $650 for all my hotside piping. They charge by the foot so headers would be cheaper.

Same here. Just a few coats of header paint.
Sandblasted all the scale and any other contaminants. Clean with compressed air and mineral spirits. Holds up for years.

I have used poly dyne on my turbo ****.

But to use them on a cheap set of headers would be foolish. If your going to spend more on coating than headers, should have just taken the money and bought stainless ****.
