painting header / exhaust

[mmaxeyjr]

I just got a catback, and header for my kae. I want to paint them black because I want to prevent them from rusting also I wanna go with that hide-a-way look.

I also don't want my paint bubbling and peeling off at high temperatures...

What kind of paint can I use. Can the same paint be used for the header and exhaust? How much will they cost?

Where to get? Wal-mart, autozone, advance? which is best price wise?

I did search, not much on this topic.

edit: also what's the best way to sand them down, and prep for paint? i've been sanding them by hand for a while now... what grits should i use?

Thanks

Unless you're uncle made your catback and/or header, it should already have a protective coating on it that's better than anything you can buy at any "Wal-mart, autozone, advance".

Stainless headers and exhausts need no corrosion inhibiting coatings and most local made exhaust come aluminized.

Whatcha got?
