- Has anyone had any luck with finding a paint that will stay on headers. I've considered the coatings offered by Eastwood but don't know anyone who has used them. Thanks! Larry

- I have used the high temp paint from Eastwood. I don't have the can if front of me but I think it was the Stainless Steel colour. It cures to a flat grayish colour and looks a bit flaky after a while

- Don't waste your money (or time) on 1300 degree paint. It, like most other paints will quickly burn off headers. The only thing that will withstand that sort of temperature is a special high performa

- Sorry, I sold this paint short a few degrees. It is 1400 degree paint. They sell it as POR-20 Brilliant Aluminum "will withstand temperatures on a continuing basis up to 14000F". Their words, not min

- Sorry again. When I cut and pasted from the POR-15 web page the 1400 degree temp turned into 14000 degrees. The little degree symbol got changed into a zero. Ooops. Vic Whitmore

- Consider ceramic coatings. They stay on (no perceptible change in five years so far) and contain a lot of the heat in the tubes which speeds the flow. I had mine done in a flat gray at www.performanc
