Hi Hoon,
I wouldn't powder coat it. I would Jet Hot it. This is a special
ceramic coating designed for this particular application. We are lucky
they have a branch office 5 minutes from my house in Tempe. Most of
their business is by mail. The Jet Hot coating has a silver appearance
and is very durable. It also keeps the exhaust heat flowing through the
header and decreases radiation of heat into the engine compartment (so I
am told). I am considering having my solex intake manifold also coated
by Jet Hot. Haven't made up my mind yet. Any one with experience in
this application??? Oh, they arn't cheap. Cost $165.00 to coat my
header.
