Header coating problem!
Well i had a lot to install in my truck and only got a couple things done! 
had the pacesetter LTs installed and thought i purchased the ceramic coated ones NOPE just the painted ones(searching for my receipt). i was wrong well the headers are now installed and i am stuck i trying to figure out if wrapping them in ceramic exhaust wrap or to paint them in high temp paint while they are still on be worth while? Fu*k not really sure what i should do just paid someone to have them installed. i wrapped the spark plug wires in high temp tape.
garage clean out next week lots to sell will post before the end of next month.

I bought the painted pacesetters and sandblasted the factory non hi temp pait off and recoated them in black satin bbq grill paint. The bbq paint lasted around 4-5 months before the headers started fading. Ive had them on for a year now and the need recoated but they look nothing like yours... If i were you id pull them off and do something like I did.

Damn that sucks.
+1 on the bbq paint. I didnt bake mine and had no issues other than a little fading.
