Sandblasted the header tonight:



And got the first coat of POR-20 on



Plans are to bake it Thursday, curing the first coat, then apply another coat when I have some time next.

[MP81]

I can haz POR-20?

[DETROITMUSCLE]

no problem hope it works out for you.

[MP81]

Just bought an 8oz container or POR-20.

Thanks for the help, Jeff!

[MP81]

All right, so it seems the search is on for that then.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

try and find an oven. I'd be willing to bet that having it baked on would only hold up better. wish I would have done that to mine.

[MP81]

Perfect, then I know what size I'm buying! Says it's pretty resistant to salt/weather...If I can find an oven, I'd love to do two coats.

Will probably not coat my downpipe, since it's stainless.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I still have some left over from my 8oz I bought. I have coated my headers twice and a buddys once.

[MP81]

Haha, I think I'm just gonna rock some POR-20.

Now, I wonder if an 8 oz will cover the header (I'm going to have it sandblasted), probably will do one coat since I don't have access to an over to bake it, think that sounds about right?

How much did you get, Jeff?

[bigjon88]

just put it on kyle!! come on

Just out of curiousity-why don't you just buy a stainless header? LS1 stainless headers can be had for around 200 on ebay, I can't imagine a cobalt header would be even close to that? Instead of all this hassle it seems like going with a nice stainless one that will last forever would be a better option-not to mention cheaper?

Because of the deal I got on this - and generally those headers are pure shit. A lot of guys have fitment issues with those.

I'm leaning towards just POR-20ing it, because no matter if it's ceramic coated or painted, it's gonna rust eventually...and going with a stainless long tube in a few years.

looking great
