250 degrees?

Is that why the 500 degree Duplicolor engine paint I put on one burnt off within 4 minutes of running?

Is that why exhaust manifold paint is rated up to 1200+ degrees?

 

thats what i thought... so how much does manifold paint cost?

Usually about $8 or so. VHT Flameproof and Plasticote Manfiold Paint are some good brands. Make sure you have some time to drive around or watch your car for a while. To make the stuff stick, you've got to basically bake it on.

If you don't have an oven large enough for a header that goes up to 650 degrees (ie, a commercial oven or powdercoating oven) ... the easiest way is to install it on your car once it's dry enough, and then run it at idle for about two hours.

Turbo manifolds get hot enough to turn literally red hot. Headers get very hot as well.

 

well it's not registered or inspeced so i can't drive it but i do need to change the oil and run some injector cleaner through it so i guess i can bake it on after college tomorrow... do stores like autozone and o'reilly sell his paint?

Most Autozone's will carry at least black and red VHT Flameproof.

 

reallllllllllly hot!!!!! if you have a header cover, drop a droplet of water on it. it will evaporate soooo fast and it has a grilling noise too lol

 

hot enough to expletive your hand up forever

 

ya... i got a few areas of skin on the back of my hand missing from this bitch

It upsets me that you hail from the town in which I grew up. I hope I don't know you
