What does everyone prefer? Beside ceramic coating :shock: I dont have that kind of money. Im looking into VHT header paint,but I cant find a primer for it. Does VHT not need a primer?

I use hi temp bbq paint ...VHT is good also.... no primer...will last longer if you paint inside also....do a couple just get it hot and cool down,will last a bit longer before burning off, and it will burn off in time

unless you are going Jet-Hot don't waste your money, just buy some Krylon 1200.

i have experience with the VHT flame proof paint. yes there is a primer, each can is like 10-11 bucks. i used it on my VW header. it holds up bitchen, especially for a rattle can.

prep is very important. make sure its very clean. then use the primer. you have to cure it, i used my bbq, since vw headers disassemble in 4 smaller pieces. you cure it 3 times at 3 different temperatures, then you do the same for the actual paint. just follow instructions

i painted my vw header about 6 years ago, it use to be black, but now is a kinda grayish, but isn't any bit of surface rust, and isn't flakey
