coating for new headers

I made a post about this awhile ago and got mixed responses...most said to either use bbq grill paint or use the vht flame proof paint and heat cycle it properly as it really is good stuff when applied and cycled right (so i was told)...im going to be trying the VHT stuff myself on my heddmans...If i was you though id make sure i take off all the factory paint, otherwise your wasting your time coating it with anything else
