[Healeys] Jet-coating, wrap or do nothing to stainless headers?

[Bob Spidell]

Forgot to mention, this stuff needs to be heat-cured. I use a propane torch with a spreader attachment. When you heat it, you can see it going from wet and glossy to dry and 'matte' finished.

I CAN recommend this stuff: http://tinyurl.com/q2z9tod 

Can be sprayed on bare metal (no priming needed) and holds up better than paint.

This is a really interesting survey, but what about paint? I have a set of mild steel headers that I plan to put on a bugeye I'm restoring. I don't really want to leave them bare, and I was planning on painting them with high-temp paint. 

On a slightly different note, my experience with heat and rough running in my BT7 is exactly the same as Bob's. I have come to accept that it is 'normal' behavior for these cars although I've always wondered about wrapping the the exhaust manifold to decrease the heat load on the carbs.
