Should I paint my headers ?

[philip77o]

Hey I have my headers out of the car and I wonder if it worth paiting them with high temp paint like VHT flameproof paint ? I mean will it drop the temperature ?

Thanks !

If you're doing it for looks, why not? I doubt you'll see enough difference in your application to make much any noticeable temp or performance change. This was touched on in a thread recently regarding header wraps and such. Typical operating temp for N/A headers is around 600*C if I remember right. So just make sure your paint meets the requirements. Turbo manifolds can hit 900* + if you're running that setup.

Why not get them Jet Hot coated?? Looks good and protects against heat.
