The outside of the Phase 9's on the Beast need to be refinished.

Are there any high temperature paints that would last, or is it best to just ship them off to Jet Hot coatings.

Or maybe there is another jet hot type coating that is good?

Hey All:

A question to everyone: does anyone have experience with coating of headers
actually helping in them lasting longer?

From my experience I can make the outside look good, but the INSIDE is getting heat, mosture and continual effects of corrosion.

Whaddya' all think?

Thanks,
Terry

I don't know where Chris Foley get his headers done, but whoever he uses does GREAT work. Mine are barely discolored after a lot of high temperatures passes.

Hey Randal,

Thanks for your response. I certainly appreciate good looking headers but was wondering is anyone could atest to a coating to make them LAST LONGER.

I have 180 degree headers (the Ford GT type bundle of snakes) on the Chevy in my 914 and have been running them for 3 years with just rattle-can hi-temp paint. They look fine, but I'm guessing they will rust out from the inside regardless how they look on the outside.

Back to you.....

Best,
Terry
