Powder coating headers?

[sceld71]

I was given a free set of headers that are rusted. My thoughts are to have them powder coated, is this a good idea? If so, who can do it?

coating should melt off.

any other ideas?

Search either the Engine or the High Perf. sections for the anti-seize coating trick? That might work. No personal experience, though.

Most powdercoat places do exhaust coatings too, maybe check into it.

Here's a link to one example of what Todd was talking about

Jet Hot Coating for headers

Wow, so I guess I have two options. 1) wait till the engine is running IN the car. Or 2) DUIT now and have some very upset neighbors. What do I do?????

Thanks again for the info.

A friend of our youngest son works at a powerder coating factory. He used a special high temperature powder coating to coat our used Hooker Super Comp headers. He sand blasted them, then cleaned them, then put the high temp powerder coating on them, and the rest as they say, is history. JD's friend said that it only comes in one color and that is black.
