Header Paint ?

Bought a new set of headers from Summit just wondering any suggestions on making them last longer. Other than getting a jet coating. How many extra coats of paint proper way to make them last. Thanks, Dan

i would recommend lightly sand blasting them and then applying VHT header paint. I have a set of headmans on my 89 and they've been on there going on six years now and they still look as good as the day i panited them.

you may want to do a search on this. I saw a post here about after painting them, how to warm them up to get the paint to harden and not burn off.

Good luck with paint!

Thanks for the input. I heard something about heating them up also. I'm not real good with doing searches but I'm learning.
