I know this is gonna sound cheap and all but I am gonna go cheap on the Hedman Hedders. I have been reading that the paint come off and starts to rust after 3 months. So what would be a good paint to cover the headers and still make them bling:squint:

 

engine paint from kmart for $3...thats what i used on my headlights, worked alright. otherwise get them powder coated or electrostatically colored, (anondized is the name...it slipped my mind for a moment)

 

btw, it's "header" and theres only one

 

I used flat black grill paint to paint the rusting flange on my header. Bling is :ghey:

 

your flange is rusting? might want to have a dr. look at that for you :ugh:

 

 

I don't know if there's such a thing as high temp primer but you might want to look into it. We sanded and sprayed my brother's Heddman/Chikara header with high temp paint knowing that the black "storage paint" would have flaked off and burnt away anyway. Unfortunately, the paint started to peel and flake away at the bends (the parts that get the hottest), especially on the primaries. It could have been that we didn't let it cure for long enough. We only waited a couple days before installing. I hear of some people putting their stuff in an oven to cure. Good luck.

 

yeah...didnt that suck?... it was a nice coat of paint too

 

It was straight bling blingin'! Which does lead to another possible point. Maybe we put too many coats?

 

possibly. or the paint didnt stand up to the claims. "ceramic flakes my assss"
