67 Z Factory Headers

**juliosz** · #1 09-02-2021, 02:59 PM

Just received my headers and really pleased with the workmanship. Now the question is what color do I coat them. I was thinking about trying to get close to the transparent blue color they were painted back in the day but I don’t know if any of the colors out there come close to recreating that. I’ve talked to several shops locally that do ceramic coating and they all recommend not doing a color outside of black or silvers due to the lower temp rating on other colors. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks, Paul

Paul,

As a suggestion, you could ask this fellow where he sends his headers to be coated.....

He is recreating the M/T Scavenger headers and is getting them coated in orange. Graeme turned me on to him. He really seems to be on top of his game.

Those look great - who sells them?

Larry Cristensen still builds the Bill Thomas/Douglas and I believe Kustom headers to order. Turnaround was about 6-8 weeks.

Ah, cool. Do you mind sharing what you paid? I may have a set built while they are still available.

I got a Set of Kustom (KH137) versions from Steve Pelier (sp) in, CO.

Mine were coated by Performance Coating Inc. Auburn Wa

Take a peek at their
Satin Gray 2000 Degrees
A great choice for stock exhaust manifolds. Dark gray with a blue. Makes any cast iron part look new, and stay that way!

Larry from here in AZ?

I dealt with Larry on the headers but I believe he works with Steve Pelletier at Camaros Plus in Wheatridge CO.
