What is a good rust resistant header paint?
I found plenty of threads that talk about header paint and header wrap. I live in a region that see's less than 2 inches of rain a year so I was thinking about wrapping my headers. But the wrap is a different story. Is this a good header paint?
Autozone specs state the following:
Features & Benefits
VHT® FlameProof™ Coating will renew and extend the life of any surface exposed to extremely high temperatures. This unique coating is a matte finish, silicone ceramic base widely used by the automotive industry on exhaust systems and the aerospace industry for jet engines, re-entry vehicles and other high temperature applications. VHT® FlameProof™ Coating will withstand temperatures up to 2000°F (1093°C) and is ideal for use on headers, exhaust systems, or wherever an extreme temperature coating is needed.

Re: What is a good rust resistant header paint?
That paint is pretty good and will last a decent amount of time if the surface is prepped correctly. How long it lasts really depends on how well the paint prep is done and what it gets exposed to. You would be better off having the headers ceramic coated though, that will last longer and keep the under hood temps lower.

Re: What is a good rust resistant header paint?
There are probably some places local to you that do it. You might want to go that route since it can be expensive shipping headers. Here are a couple of places.
Jet Hot is know nationally.
