High Temp. Header Paint Question:

Hi,

I have new headers in a nice silver finish. Unfortunately, a friend of mine accidentaly put some descent scratches on the one side. So, I thought that I would post a question if anyone knows of some good high temp paint, in a high silver finish, that I perhaps could use to help cover up some of those scratches.

I have some catalogs from the Eastwood Company. I noticed that they sell high temp paint in a silver shade. However, before I purchase a can at $15 + shipping a pop, does anyone have any experiences with this? Is it a dull silver finish or a higher gloss-like finish? Any other recommendations other than the Eastwood Company product?

Thank you for any responses,
Aaron

Didn't you post another thread like this one somewhere? Anyway, I wouldn't bother painting them because it's either going to burn off and there goes your scratch along with the paint. You can do a ceramic coating that looks the same and will last.

honestly I've never seen header paint, regardless of the type (yes even jot-hot) stand up more than 6 months. ceramic coat them, or just deal with the fact that they will look like hell, or you will just have to repaint them over and over if its a show car.
