[QUOTE="Harley#356, post: 16037365, member: 62603"] Swaintech says you can paint them, and I used 2000* VHT Header paint, so I expect it to hold up fine. It's amazing how much the coating soaks up. The paint sucks into the coating and turns black, it doesn't sit on top where it would flake off. Each header sucked up an entire can of paint and could have even soaked up more. I had a few parts cerakoted for my top end, more for cosmetics than heat. The swaintech stuff is way thicker than cerakote though. Hard to describe, but I peeled off the masking off the collector area and peeled the swaintech coating off the tape, and the coating was thicker than the tape, and plyable i could bend it and twist it without it cracking or breaking. Interesting stuff. [/QUOTE]
