Re: Vintage BBC headers
Here is the website. They dont have a ton of colors but if you go to their firearms website then they have more.. I have looked at several of those data sheets and it claims 1200 heat resistant but I do not have first hand experience with it. If someone wants to they can send me their part and pay to have it blasted or already have it done and cover the cost of the coating Ill do it for free for the next month or so and you let me keep whats left of the liquid. I only use air cure due to not having an oven for just this process but that could change. Just pm me if interested. You can also try for yourself just use a HPLV gun and I run roughly 20-30psi on the gun. Just practice. A lot. A 4oz tester sample will do quite a bit but I would get a pint if you want to do headers.

Re: Vintage BBC headers
When painting headers yourself, I learned many years ago the hard way. My first experience, I am sure many of you have had this happen, I would use VHT paint and after the first start-up, the paint would start to peel almost instantly. I learned this trick from a friend of mine, I use a hand torch and heat up the header from the inside and then apply the paint. I never had a problem after this.

I used the cheap Hookers on my Malibu. Was not looking to spent stupid money for a set, and I hate shiny headers. Car has PS and they fit well. I removed the black paint on them, gave the metal some tooth, etched with phosphoric acid and paint with VHT, so far so good.

Re: Vintage BBC headers
Thanks all, especially for the suggestions in keeping the VHT on the headers. Benjamin and I will use one of these methods on these:
