2021年11月15日 · Too thick is worse than not thick enough. With header paint it's likely to flake easier if it's laid on too heavy. Another issue is engine start up with freshly painted headers. If the engine is going to need a cam breakin, don't do it with freshly painted headers! It will end up ruining the paint during the 20-30 minute 2500 rpm steady run.

2009年4月7日 · Header Paint in Aus. I have to take my hat off to you. I just googled caswell using the Aus.search engine and saw the add for Caswell with the details you found. I have marked the website on favourites and will contact them for some info. I should have looked a little harder.Sounds as if you have had a good result with the parts you have coated.

2003年12月28日 · - Apply the small coats of VHT paint, take your time. 3-4 coats will do. In my case it took 1 can per header. - I wrapped the headers in plastic to avoid scratching the surfacing while installing them. Bubble wrap will work too. Fire up the engine and let it run at idle 15-20 minutes (on a warm day). The header paint will cook/bake perfectly.

2005年12月17日 · jet hot is a ceramic coating and not a paint. Are you sure you sent these to jet hot and had the piece/s coated - This stuff was originally formulated by NASA - I have had it for years on my big block headers with nary a problem and …

2019年11月16日 · Best thing I can tell you is to get a can of flat black VHT header paint. Shoot the primer, paint, then shoot on the clear on letting the coats all air dry 30 minutes between coats. Use some thing like a piece of scrap (or old cookie sheet). Throw it into the oven at 250F for 20 minutes then kill the heat and let it cool in there for a hour.

2008年2月17日 · The paint that comes on the headers is not a high temp paint so it will burn off if not cared for. I picked up Dupli Color’s High Heat with Ceramic that’s good up to 1200 degrees if properly applied.

2003年5月29日 · This is going to sound totally bizarre,but go to the hardware store and buy some rattle cans of name-brand BBQ paint.If you sand the headers very thoroughly first,degrease them well,and apply the paint in several VERY light coats,it will hold up well.Mine look great.The prep and the light coats are the key!

2003年2月24日 · I have used VHT header paint, with very good results. It will hold up, if all of the old paint is removed from the headers, right down to bare metal. Then clean everything with lacquer thinner and dry completely. Apply several light coats, then cure them. I use a bank of three heat lamps to cure each header for 24 hours or longer.

2013年8月14日 · Kelly and Killerratrod are 100% right in what they are telling you...if your headers are a generic brand and not of a high quality...chances are that the paint that's on them will perform about as good as the headers. Sandblasting the paint off is a good way to go...if you must remove the paint.
