[Tigers] LAT 73 Header Thermal Coating

[D or G at sbc]

 Don't know about the LAT 73 headers, but "other" headers of the period were usually  satin black/semi gloss black from the manufacturer.

 Brian,
That is really a " refer to the judging guidelines" question.
1.  My personal opinion is while the coating is preferable as it protects from rust and can offer advantages of reduced engine bay temps and keeps heat in the exhaust ports..  It isnt stock... If you coat to appear original finish its up to the judges to spot...  If you have these coated and another car has them painted .. I'd pin you the point...  
2. The LAT brochure shows what appears to be a satin black finish on them.. But its a B/W brochure..  And..  Maybe they painted them for the sales images .... So take that for what its worth.. So if ceramic coating a satin black Would be the first choice...
Just my .02..

Happy New Year everyone,
I'm purchasing a set of reproduction LAT 73 headers and want to have them thermal coated.
Two questions.1. Will I get dinged at concours (stock class) for coating the headers?2. If not, what color were the original LAT 73 headers?
I have to pony up the cash for the headers and coating soon, so timely feedback will be most appreciated.CheersB
