Paint for the header

anyone know of a paint that I can get that will protect my header on my B2000? I remember seeing a post somewhere just cant find it now about a paint you can get at the autoshop that is like ceramic paint meaning it will protect the header and not burn off. If you know of any paint that I can put on these things to make them look good I would greatly appreciate it!!

i used bar-b-q paint, worked great! and its got flake in it

ya u can buy vht flameproof paint its good up to 1500 degrees but to paint headers it says u need to bake the header when its painted in a oven for a hour or something at 600 degrees. go to the vht site it will tell u how to do it

Found it!! I will post it in case anyone else is looking for the info. VHT 1500 degree paint is what you use.

HOW TO:
Surfaces must be dry and free from oil, grease, dirt, rust, scale, paint, etc. For best results, metal surfaces should be prepared by sandblasting. Use only high-grade cleaners that leave no residue, such as VHT's Brake Cleaner (product #SP-11 & #SP-11-1 for use in California) or PJ1's Super Cleaner (product #3-20 & 3-21 for use in California) to cleanse all foreign substances from surface. VHT FlameProof White Primer (Product #SP-118) is recommended for maximum adhesion prior to applying color coat.
Shake can for one minute after marble is heard. Hold can upright 12-16 inches from surface during application. Apply a thin, even coat while moving can in a crosshatch pattern. Do not try to achieve full coverage during the first coat. Apply coats in 15-20 minute intervals. For best results, it is recommended that each coat be cured completely before applying the next layer of coverage. Excessive coating will result in running of paint and lead to blistering.


CURING:
VHT Flameproof Coatings will dry in 15 to 30 minutes. Baking ( a Bar-B-Que works great) at 250°F for 30 minutes, then 30 minutes at 400°F, then 30 minutes at 650°F, improves finish and provides a durable surface for solvent resistance. The inherent heat of operation as encountered in exhaust manifolds, boilers, heaters, ovens, etc. may also accomplish curing. Run heat source until hot then cool for 30 minutes, run heat source again until hot and allow to cool for 30 minutes. ALL CURING MUST BE DONE SLOWLY. Until coating is cured finish is not solvent resistant. It is recommended that each individual coat must be cured completely before applying the next layer of coverage.

eastwood makes some awesome manifold paint

Do you have to cure it also?
