powdercoating headers
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
imo i would just save up money and get new ones....
You know better; next time will be a ban.
^ I just got them like 3 months ago, and im not spending $300-400 again...
That's exactly correct.Originally Posted by Interlude
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.
How much does that coast, and where can i get it done?That's exactly correct.

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.
i concur
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
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.
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.
LOL u kidding urself , right?
aluminum foil. it's JDM and it works.
Why dont you do that to your Fast and Furious Corolla
hahaha FNF corolla
ummmm how u liek these headers Ceramic Red Baked charge $100
