Has anyone ever had any issues with their Header Paint peeling or flaking off maybe a week into driving? So I had bought an unused set of Headman Headers off someone and decided to paint them with header paint before installation. I sanded them down real good back a few months ago and coated them with two average coats of Rustoleum high heat sliver header paint (2000 deg.). Now fast forward to last week when I cranked the car up for the first time. Like I read on the instructions for the baking period, I ran it until it started smoking then stopped for a cool down... repeated a few times as directed. Eventually the paint wrinkled up for about a foot or two of the pipe. Now its beginning to flake off a lot of places. Just wondering if this has happed to anyone else so soon in the game? I guess I thought I did it correctly and prepped it as best I knew how, but then again I'm human...
