Title: Paint for headers.
Post by: soonerbillz on September 18, 2024, 12:06:18 PM
Anyone have an opinion on the best Hi Temp paint for headers . I have a set that is rusted and want to paint them after I clean them.

Another vote for the PJ-1 flat black paint, that's what I always use.

I used this stuff before, and just applied it with a spray gun. I applied a few coats quite thick and it has held up a lot better than any of the rattle cans Ive used.
Sure you could brush it on as well and get a nice finish.

Applied with a spray gun most likely would be a better option.

I've had good luck with rattle can Rustoleum BBQ black. It's flat black and less spendy than the PJ-1 usually.

That's one I was hoping to hear from someone who used it.
