Painted headers
This isn't about trucks, but whatever. I'm putting my Sanderson shorty headers in my Olds, and I'm wondering if I should paint them with high temp exhaust paint, or just leave 'em bare steel. I've heard the paint always comes off right away with the heat, but maybe that's wrong. Anybody have any input?

just follow the instrustions on how to treat the paint after sprayed on. i believe that head treat the headers right after thay are painted.
what about power coating them will that hold up to heat? just woundering if any one know any thing about that. not trying to hi-jack your thead.

No worries, I plan on getting them ceramic coated sometime in the future, but the car has to get together for a buddy's wedding next weekend.

Ceramic paint, I like the sound of that. It's a 455 stroked to 495 with the crank journals machined down to big block Chevy rod specs. Seems wicked enough on paper, but I haven't even broken it in cause I was waiting so long on the headers.
