I'd love to know more about this, if you don't mind. Did you use the aerosol cans or a spray gun? How thorough are the instructions? I need to repaint my headers white and I'd also like to know if you think that paint will survive a cam break in because if I remember right, Jet Hot recommends not to break in a cam with a fresh coated pair of headers. So if this paint is cheaper and more durable, sign me up!

Here is the link! You need to break this paint in as well... You cannot break an engine in or break in a cam with a freshly painted set. I did everything the video states, except the powder coat oven. I used this paint on my Camaro headers and it has held up very well. Good luck!

Chuck, the link went to "engine paint" and there is another link to "stove paint". It appears they may be the same product, but I just want to be clear on which you used, please.
