Re: Header paint



Mine are factory they are just covered in surface rust. I figured a good scotch pad cleaning, then a couple coats of paint would do the trick

I tried to paint my headers as they were coated but a little scratched up.  I used 1300 degree paint and it burned off the first time the engine started.
 
The engine man said you have to use 17 or 1800 degree paint or it will burn off.

Rich,

 

When I get home tonight I'll give you the info on what I used to redo my TTI's for the Poly stroker. The paint is as good as it was a year and a half ago when I did them.

My TTI's have taken quite a bit of abuse over the last 5 or so years. Besides being rubbed raw they are quite stained from misc oils and other fluids. I don't want to spend $250 to have them recoated and mainly the timing would be an issue. I already have lost all the season so far and don't want any more slow downs. I am planning to clean them as best I can with acetone and then use the VHT header paint in a similar silver color. I was thinking of the stainless steel paint I used on the intake and front cover but that stuff is three times as expensive as VHT and is rated at 400deg whereas the VHT is something like 1500deg.. 


I know header paint has always been an issue but I want something to work NOW and it can be redone on the next build in a couple years. Anybody with previous experience?
