[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 220730, member: 4617"] Slow start today. Took the exhaust headers off and went to see my local welding guy. We discussed the issue of the chrome heat shields and his determination was that it would be cost prohibitive for him to do the work. I can accept this honesty. Took some pictures of the exhaust headers:[ATTACH type="full" alt="Exhaust Header 1.jpg"]21295._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="Exhaust Header 2.jpg"]21296._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="Exhaust Header 3.jpg"]21297._xfImport[/ATTACH]Have searched forum threads for recommendations, and pics of painting the hearers. Most keep the chrome heat shields on. Do think that a cleanup and painting of these headers would look nice. Know what products have been used from a VHT heat paint, BBQ paint and others. Looked at the CERAKOTE product line. There is a Glacier Silver product with a temp range of 1800 to 2000 Deg F. and withstands thermal shock say from water with no adverse effects. Here's the web site:https://www.cerakote.com/shop/cerakote-coating/C-7700/cerakote-glacier-silver. Air cured and a one coat application. Dry to touch in 4 hours, fully cured in 120 hours. CERAKOTE also has a product, less expensive than the Glacier Silver product, Glacier chrome - heat cured. Recommended for exhaust systems. Here's the site:https://www.caswellcanada.ca/CERAKOTE-GLACIER-CHROME.html. Technical data sheet. Thinking that unless I mentioned the lack of chrome heat shields, no one would notice. Thinking this may be the way ahead. Comments. [/QUOTE]
