I did a search and did not come up with what I was hoping for. I know people out there have done it and have writen on it, I just can't seem to find it. I want to know if it is possible to paint headers. I know they can be powder coated but do they get too hot for a high temp paint??? If anyone has tried this, please let me know or point me to whatever thread I missed. Thanks

 

you cant paint them...you can get it jet hot coated tho

they do great work...whether you just want that part to last ot for show purposes

 

You can get them SWAIN coated too, oh guess what, they are 20 minutes away from me .

 

paint ur stock headers? if so anyways i just did valve cover with pep biys paint and it looks mad dope.!!! just a ***** to take off.

 

^pete i hoped you used high temp paint and didnt clear it...

 

deed high temp paint and no clear.lol drip...

 

thanks for the info guys, i might talk with swain or jet-hot.

 

Would it work for painting the Mitsubishi text and logo on the engine itself?

 

^ on the valve cover?
that you can paint with high temp paint...the valve cover never really gerts hott enough...
here a pici


edit:painting the heat sheild is not a good idea at all!!! so dont do it i learned the hard way

 

i thought about doing the heatshield...what happens?

 

why can't you clear coat it. I have engine high temp clear coat. Why wouldn't that work?

 

Yeah. I'm not sure what color. Red for the Mitsubishi diamond and black for the text. A friend of mine took off the plastic shield over the valve cover on his '02 SE-R Spec V and spray painted it red leaving the chrome Nissan logo and text untouched. It looked pretty cool when he finished.

 

is it safe??

 

What color is the valve color burnt orange, whatever it is it ooks great.

 

what temp paint would you guys recommend getting. I bought pgmikes old headers and I wanted to paint them black. I'm hoping the black will mask the fact that they have the version 1 dents in them.
