Hi everyone, I just want to share my DIY ceramic header coating with everyone. I recently bought a used set of DC Sport headers from a prime member that I didn't install as yet due to weather conditions forbidden!!. However I wanted to have them ceramic coated but didn't have the funds to get it done professionally. I used the VHT flameproof high heat paint, the color is called cast iron, which is almost a gunmetal finish. Let's start with the prepping. Make sure the headers are clean and wash with a detergent to get any grease off. I also used a 600 grit sandpaper to scuff the stainless steel abit to make the paint stick better. You will also need a good heat gun if your not going to bake the headers in your oven. I heated the headers 15min before with about 1100f setting with the heat gun. I began to spray about 2 coats evenly on one side if you have them laying on the floor like I did and let dry for about 10min. Next you can do the other side and heat for 5-10min then let cool for 15min. It is a very easy process if you have patience. I will show what they look like stainless and after with the VHT ceramic coating. The overall finish looks good. I will install the headers some time next week. I read online about people that used this VHT product and had good results. Here are the pics.
