    header treatments

    I am taking my headers off and want to send them out to be coated. I don't want them to be powder coated. I want them to be finished so they have that blue steel look to them. Any help would be great. Local shops in MA or places that may be able to do the work.

    Ceramic coating...

    Unless you want that iridescent blue look then your headers would need to be titanium

      wrap them so they rust away!

      (assuming rust is still cool...)

          Powdercoating can't withstand the high temperature of exhaust gases.

            I'm just using so hi temp paint for them. Glossy black, it should look good and last a long time. Ceramic ocating was close to $200.00

                Ceramic coated, will look nice and keep temps in the engine bay down.
