High heat paint.
I've used Duplicolor high heat paint in a number of applications, but never on any components that are exposed to extreme heat.
I'm going to be getting a old RB header soon, and what ever coating that used to be on it is gone. So my plan is to take my mini grinder with a sanding wheel on it, and getting rid of all the rust, and shooting a coat of high heat enamel on it. Will Duplicolor 1500 degree paint with ceramic hold up in this application?
I don't wanna pay for having the part dipped and plated.
Also what do you guys use for painting the aluminum rotor housings? Is there a high heat primer you shoot first, cause I know conventional high heat paint doesnt like to stick to aluminum and no ferrous metals in general. (found that out after painting my dirt bike's magnesium components.)

That wont protect the steel from rust thou. If anything it would hold in moisture.
This POR stuff looks promising

Once the car is started and the header heats up, the moisture will dissipate, but while sitting it will hold in moisture.
I don't have 300 to spend on coating. I want a do it yourself product.
