Joel Blair Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I was wondering if anybody had used a high temp paint (I think dupli-color makes one good to ~16000) on their headers and if it helped with holding the heat inside the header. I just got my OBX headers and I was thinking that ceramic coating might be overkill since I am not concerned with them rusting at all. I am just looking for something to help keep my underhood temps lower. Thanks, any help is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70chevy03ss Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Leave them Ceramic. you could send them out to be Jet hot coated as well. I used that paint on my 70 chevelle headers. I went threw the heat cycles and the paint started to flake off. I wouldn't do it. thats just me tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Ceramic coat them, this way they wont pit, they wont suffer from heat bleed off, and underhood temps will be lower. Not to mention you wont have the blueing of bare stainless headers. I had mine ceramic coated by TJ (kaotik1) here on the forum, they came out awesome.......definitely worth every penny.

Joel Blair Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the help guys Edit: One more question, is there anyone that makes a DIY type of ceramic coating? I know it wouldn't be as good as professional but I am just not sure if its worth the couple hundred dollars to get a set of stainless headers coated Again, any info is appreciated Edited July 22, 2008 by jbVHO (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
