Thanks. Steel wool, two types of wire wheels, a drill, and VHT header paint did a pretty good job.

Did you cure the paint before you put them on? This stuff can either be cured on or off the vehicle using heat cycles. A friend of mine used the same stuff on his turbo, followed the directions and its lasted 3 years with only a few spots just started to show up.

Hmm they sat for almost 24 hrs, dry to the touch. Planned on doing the heat cycle but fired it up for like 1min open headers and the paint on the primaries started to come off. theres a good amount of paint still on, just not like is supposed to be...

Ill keep an eye on it. The headers still had a good amount if the ceramic coating on them so hopefully that will help.

I had really poor experience with VHT paint... I sprayed everything and let it dry to the touch except when you put pressure on it the stuff would still rub off. So I thought eh its cause its not cured. Touched it up once it was installed. Heat cycled it as directed 3 times let it cool and checked to make sure it wouldnt rub off. Well it did...
If you want silver use cast blast if you want black use krylon BBQ paint.

Thanks for the heads up I'll keep an eye on it. The whole reason for the clean up and paint was to stop and slow down the rusting. I'm hoping to squeeze at least 18 months out of them. I'll be changing them out for stainless steel once I do heads/cam etc.

A little blood loss and some pain isn't anything to cry over.

Good Luck with that. Never did any Header installs on any of the LT1 cars I owned and I wouldn't want to. Did 3 LS1's with no problems. How long on average will this take you?
