My 350x headers are starting to look like crap. I've searched a little bit about coatings and what to use, not really much on here. Im not a big fan of the "BBQ grill paint." I like stock look more then flashy chromed or what not. What are my options and has anyone done a ceramic coating on a 350x? Can I even sand blast a rust/mud coated header? If something works good I could also use it on my 84 Tecate rebuild project.

I use a local powder coat guy that has ceramic coating, looks awesome and is bulletproof

I just got a 350x supertrapp ceramic coated. Unless you are on a budget or the pipe isn't worth the additional cost, ceramic is the only way to go.

I went with ceramic on my 350x pipes. Brendon (Yaegerb) did the prep and redid my muffler - bangup job and terrific guy to deal with!!

Go to a powder coated and get them ceramic coated. It not only will preserve them but will reduce the heat on your leg too by 20-30 degrees.
