Header Paint

njk53 · 08-15-2011, 12:44 PM

I am going to clean and re-paint my headers. Any suggestions as far a brand of primer (if you use a primer) and/or a heat paint that is durable?

They call it Nitro Plate by Kevin Cradduck. HeHe

Painted my old headers with outdoor grill paint and it lasted for years.....surprized me big time.

The Hi temp coating from Eastwood works well if the surface is blasted or thoroughly sanded.
Have a street car with it on for years,and still holding up.

Use Nitro Plate or let em rust.

Nitro Plate is ceramic correct? If it is, my header manufacturer stated that he will not repair my headers if they are coated with ceramic.
