Titanium the best header coating color?
15 year old headers look new, never used with new heat coating.
Titanium has a factory cast iron exhaust manifold look. For $700 old header cleaned and coated. No longer a paint it black and put it back car guy. ![]() ![]() |

Man, ceramic coating. Great stuff. A long way from the days when all we had was VHT paint in rattle cans..

They look great!
I've painted headers a couple of times, and every time most of the paint, closest to the block mostly burned off.

I had the pipes for the Cobra ceramic coated by Jet Hot. Rusted in 6 months. They recoated under warranty and they rusted again in 6 months. This is when I lived in El Centro in the desert. They refused to honor the warranty after that.
There is a local place here, Tammy's, that is supposed to be good. Was looking at titanium since no one does white.
