Happy new year to all.
There is a technique called metal spray that I had applied to my stock exhaust
headers, and it prevents rust without looking strange. I had them coated with
stainless steel when my engine was rebuilt, and itâ??s prevented any rust from
occurring. It simply looks like a new metal header, but without any rust. I
like it, but Iâ??m not so much an absolute stickler for concourse originality.
