NZXD 2,328 Posted March 27, 2013 Hi guys, just got a new set of Hurrican headers for my windsor. They are coated with blue silvery paint that I assume will burn off quickly. Any suggestions on what I can coat/paint them with that does not burn off? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hendrixhc 10,921 Posted March 28, 2013 Assuming it is paint and not ceramacoat i would get them sandblasted or wire wheel them to clean up the surfaces. You can then give them a good degrease with degreaser or wax and grease remover and thoroughly dry them. VHT make a primer called flame proof which is suitable up to 1500 degrees which you do 2 or so coats and then top coat it with their flame proof colours. I think they only have matt colours but they do have gloss clear coat. In saying that i read somewhere that the clear coat does dull or go brown. The paint instructions say that you have to bake the paint coatings by running the engine for a given time or in a oven if you have one big enuf. I have done my headers but are yet to run the engine so i can tell you for sure if the coating is durable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
