It better, i plan on doing mine in the next day or two. VHT makes great paint, i used duplicolor header paint before and a lot of it blistered off the first time i drove it. VHT is way higher temp though.

RE: Header paint ?

I've gotta be honest. I have yet to see a header paint that can hold up to the heat for very long. There may be something out there, but I've never found anything that works for very long.

RE: Header paint ?

I just read a thing online that says VHT header paint can last 5-10 years. i'm not sure how much thruth is in that but prep work has a lot to do with how long paint lasts.
