Is that from experience Tom?
The key to using any of those so-called header paints is to have the header
exhaust sand/media blasted prior to painting.
Of all the coatings I had put on headers over the years, and there have been
quite a few, the best is Jet Hot. However, the super shiny chrome like
appearnce does not remain that way and becomes a dark aluminum look.
