    Default Dupli-Color High Heat Paint with Ceramic

    I thought I followed the instructions to the letter, including stinking-up my wife's oven with the recommended bake-off. The stuff burned off almost immediately!!! All that work, and now my headers look like they belong in a leper colony.
    Are we having fun, yet?

    Really, I've thought about stuff like that in the past, never actually tried it though.

    That stuff works great on everything BUT headers. I have tried every trick in the book for the headers, but from my experience, the only thing that will stick to the headers is ceramic coating.

    Interesting since the Dupli-Color instructional video shows the stuff being applied to headers. I was hopeful, since it claims to be "with ceramic", that the stuff would work.
