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 |

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 |

Best, Terry Why not give JetHot a call and talk to one of their technical support people. They coat the entire header (inside and out), so they should last a long time. BTW coating the inside does help with power. Nice set up on your headers. Must be fun driving your 914! |
