The headers for my conversion have a touch more "patina" than I would like. I had planned on taking them up the street and getting them coated - 230.00.
Ran into a car guy buddy at the office and he told me just to use VHT on them. He has an awesome, 100% fully restored 67 Camaro that his dad bought new with litterally zero options - total base model (it may even be a 6 cylinder). He restored every single nut and bolt - it is really fantastic. He said he used VHT on several high heat parts. I am concerned that his "high heat" parts do not get as hot as my "high heat" parts. I found several threads on guys using it on mufflers with some good results. Has anyone used it on headers? Thanks for any insight - Scott S |

You may not have baked them long enough and you have to do it in stages; low heat for awhile then high heat and then a long cool down. I'm not sure of the quality of boots Eric is trying to unload. The suede kinda looks like squirrel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) As far as your wife, I was pretty clear about the run like hell part, no? |
