Header Paint

I used VHT flat black high heat paint. And it's still on even after driving in traffic numerous times. I firmly believe in prep. Yup I do. I bought the headers used from a guy in Florida. They were covered in surface scale rust. So I wiped them down with a scotchbrite pad and sprayed them. It seems the paint sticks better to a rough surface. On new headers I would almost suggest sandblasting them rough. O and I let them cure for a few days before starting it up.
