Default Re: Header paint?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: markinnaples</div><div class="ubbcode-body">.....any tips for painting them, thanks. </div></div>

We used to hang headers up and heat them from the inside with a propane torch (collector end down). Don't stick torch tip all the way inside the header as that causes the flame to go all funky. After the headers are hot enough that it is uncomfortable to touch then, it's time to start painting. After they are painted, warm them up again. Just don't get them so hot that the paint starts to bubble.
