    While I never used this on headers but have on exhaust manifolds and works well and looks good.

    May not be the same product I used years ago, not sure

      We use rustoleum grill paint from home depot it's cheap and holds up about as good as any of the"high temp" exhaust paint ive seen and it's considerably cheaper

        good tip jking ,I learn something new every day , i used vht as well for years until i got a big enough oven to coat them , by the way , if there new and clean headers , and your able to bolt them on the engine easy , you can by the coating and coat them your self , let them air dry , put them on the engine and fire it up and cure them that way , just be sure you do this outside or in well vented area....

          I have used the Eastwood paint that Billet shared on headers and it holds up very well.

              Skip the paint. Get the headers hot with a torch and coat with transmission fluid. Keeps them clean and looking like new! We have been doing it for a few years.
