high temp paint

hey all,

im trying to figure out what I want to paint or coat my new headers i ordered with. Ive read that some people use Weld thru Primer, anybody have any experience with this? I just dont wanna spend all my time and $$ and have my headers rot out. If i could afford it I would jet hot coat them, but am on a somewhat limited budget with my little boy thats gonna be here in may.

thanks!

This should be interesting. Personally, I've never seen anything stay on exhaust in terms of paint, but I haven't really looked around lately for new technology stuff.

Would love to hear opinions on this.

I have been using the VHT ceramic header paint (2k degrees) on my Thorleys.(aluminum color) The paint actually holds pretty and lasts pretty long once I got all the peeling ceramic coating off. I use a wire brush to get any of the loose stuff off before painting. The heat from running the truck cures the paint.
