Re: Header Paint
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.

Re: Header Paint
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.

Re: Header Paint
One thing that seems to help is just spray lightly, thin coat of paint will stay on better.

Airborne did mine 11 years ago and they still look great.The inside coating is holding up real well also.Maybe your header guy wants you to wear them out in a few years so he can make you another $et.:>):>)
