powdercoating headers

[N/A EK]

What kinda paint can i use to powdercoat my header. I hate the way the look like, they are kinda rusty and i dont like the color of them anyway.

I may be wrong but i dont think u can just powder coat with paint u have to like use a powder and then have it baked on I beleive but like i said i might be wrong

[§treet_§peed]

^ I just got them like 3 months ago, and im not spending $300-400 again...:no:

headers can't be powerder coat it. It's going to be either Ceramic Coated or Jet hot coated. They gets too hot and powerdercoating won't hold.

[Sammich]

isnt their a header cover(if that makes any sense) that comes factory w/ the specs??

I'm just gonna wrap them in the header/heat wrap.

[Sammich]

i concur

[VIPERGUY]

they have high temp powders (1000F sustained)

although the finishes are pretty crappy, and they do not hold up to abuse/water/mud/dirt/coolant as well as ceramic

That's exactly correct. :goodjob:

Get them coated and call it a day. It reduces underhood temps anyway, so that's a bonus. They won't ever rust again too. :goodjob:

My EGT's get in the upwards of 1700*F at WOT and around 1350*F on the interstate.

Either way, I would not recommend powdercoating anything exhaust related. And I don't even like heat wrap although I do use it on my own car. I would suggest Ceramic Coating!

I painted my heaters with high temp paint from auto zone. my headers were rusty and ugly. Scrubbed them with a wire brush to get the rust off, washed, and put 4 coats of high temp black paint for a nice glossy sexy look. All in all took about 20 mintues to do.

yup, ceramic coating is the way. I'm going to get my pair of headers Ceramic Coated at Miller's.

I seen that paint at AutoZone yesterday. For how long have you had it painted, any rust after the paint,or anything chipping off...etc

my turbo manifold was painted w/ that stuff and w/in about two weeks all of it had burned off. im usually around 1250-1300 degrees in boost.

I just painted the headers a week ago, and they arent on the car yet but I put about 3 heavy coats on. Hopefully it will last.

It will withstand up to 500degrees, I guess booster cars would need a much stronger paint. I dont think my N/A motor will go above 500degrees.

aluminum foil. it's JDM and it works.
