Is there any product that I can use at home to successfully freshen up my headers?

There's an actually rattle can you can use to do that, its made for painting your hedders,they should have it at your local performance store, can't remember the name of it rite now, hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about on here that might be able to help with the name... ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

All that shit wears off after a few hours. Get em ceramic coated. I just took mine to sanderson mine are 2 1/8 primaries with a 4" collector charged me $150 I'm sure your headers are smaller will be cheaper and lasts atleast 2-3 years

Yeah I'm gonna give VHT a try. I got the high temp primer and flameproof flat aluminum. I'm going to bake them in a oven to fully cure the paint before install. I bet a lot of people don't follow the directions.

Damn this stuff does work. I baked them in my old BBQ.
250 degrees for 30 then cool for 30
400 degrees for 30 then cool for 30.
Then finally 550 degrees for 30 mins.
No discoloration so far.
