So i did. Then I painted over the stock paint with some acuall high temp paint, rated to 1200 F. The paint is already starting to peel. I should have sandblasted all the paint off to get to the bare metal. Anyway,...what I came on here to ask was I saw some por 15 brand high temp paint. I know that stuff is good for rust prevention and is high quality stuff. Do you think it would work if I where to put it on my headers, if it was painted on the bare metal??
any help on high temp paint would be helpful.
I Love My Truck!

All paints benefit from having a clean, dry, oil free surface to bond to.
