Custer County Mud Draggers Forum

Got my new headers, now I need to paint them. Any body done this and what did you use. I am thinking BBQ paint.

Ace Hardware has some really good BBQ Grill paint. I think it's rated over 1000 deg. I've never used it on headers, but I have used the black on a couple of wood stoves and even the stove pipe. A couple of years later, it was still as black as the day I painted it. The silver/aluminum BBQ paint that they have is pretty good too. I've used it for painting over welds on exhast tubing, and it's held up really good.

Personally I like the rusty baked on mud look myself. If you really want to get fancy, you can use brazing rod to put a nice shiny patch over the hole your battery ate in them when your bailing wire tie-down didn't work so good.
