Check it, you guys like? I got some super-high-temp caliper paint for the pipes and removed the big AP sticker (sorry guys) and I think the outcome is pretty sweet.

I don't think the brake caliper paint is going to stand up over time. Your exhaust gets hotter than the paint is rated for (only 500 something I think). If it burns off (or flakes off) you should try something made for headers. I know VHT makes a really high temp paint (1200 degrees).

Looks nice though.

Looks great!!

looks good. blends in much better. you painted the whole headers? like camaro said, you may have been better off using header or engine block paint. you might be ok. idk.

It should be interesting to see if it lasts long time. As written above, that exhaust gets mighty darn hot...

It was VHT caliper paint rated at 900* F

We'll see *shrug*

It did smell bad the first night lol...

If it doesn't work, go for the bbq grill high temp paint found at hardware stores.

Good call. So far it's working fine. Thanks!

I used Rustoleum BBQ paint.
