Best spray-on header paint?

I'm not looking for a Jet-Hot substitute, I just don't want to have to sandblast my headers again. They're nice and clean right now, and I want them to stay that way. Any recommendations? I will be "baking" the paint on with a torch.

VHT flameproof header coating works pretty well. Nothing will last forever, though.

oh of course. I used the Duplicolor header paint without stripping the original header "paint" off and that lasted about 1.5 years. I am wondering about the POR-15 high heat paint too. It's expensive but if it will hold up, then i'll get some.

POR-20 I think is the header paint. If it's anything like the original POR-15 then it just might last forever.

Precisely what I was thinking!


I need to get me some POR-15 and do my wheel wells asap.
