what paint to use for header
well my header is looking pretty beat up and rusted. i was gonna clean it up and paint it a ceramic color but what paint should i use so that it doesnt bake off. my dad used dupli-color good for 500* and it baked right off on first start up. so is there anything out there that can withstand more heat?
thanks,
josh

getting block hugger headers for a v8 was quoted at 150-200. so for a rotary should be around 100 i would GUESS. well worth it. if you have ever had anything PC'd, its the way to go IMO

lol, dont bother, it literallt evaporates off. i painted mine with 1400 degree and it was gone after 5 mins or so of idle. it was 3 coats of paint, but you can watch it evaporate off if you want too. lol
