The headers are coated with about 4 coats of VHT, each heat cured inbetween coats. I don't know how long they will last. This was a plan "B" after we had issues with the set we had planned on useing.
Personally, I like the finish better than the ones we had powder coated. JMHO.

I like the paint finish better also but not sure how long it will last. Looking good Mayor! How about some of the car Fred.

Mine looked like that on the L79. I didn't cure them between coats. They sure don't look like that now after the first start up. More of a brown white. LOL...

Maybe curing them in a oven is the secret to holding the color.
