powder coating a header?

[hybrid89]

I want to powdercoat my header. How does that affect the overall temp while operating? does it conduct or extract heat? does color have anything to do with it?

i think you'd be better off having it ceramic coated

 

[hybrid89]

what about color options w/ CC?

um just bust out some krylon

Krylon? lmao. I don't think even the high temp brake enamel will hold up to the heat off the header for very long.

a friend of mine painted the shield that covers the header and he had to redo it like every 45 days or so. and when it was comin to b that time it looked like shit .

You can ceramic coat it, but you have limited color options, and it can be kinda pricey, and hard to find someone who can do it. I say get a nicly finished stainless steel header if you are worried about how it looks.
