GOOD WORK!!!!

 

nice job,

 

thanks guys

 

looks good, but like someone said wont stay like that for long

 

This will be done tommorw. Thanks for posting this dude.

 

i'm gonna try this with the header i have for my Altima.

 

Though it does not stay like that for "long", it takes a few days to a week for it to turn to a gold tint. Though it might change from a polished silver, it takes but 10 minutes to go over the surfaces to make it the "chrome" looking metal again. Plus the gold doesn't look too bad anyways

 

Yeah the whole point of doing this is to remove oil marks left by touching the header with your hand. If and when you ride around for a while and hear up the header it wont be shiny as before but atleast the discolouration will be even in all spots.

Like on my header when i installed it i used gloves but whoever handled it before me touched it with their thumb. So when i ran it for a while i got a fat thumb print right in the middle of the header. everything else is fine.


Headers are made to change color. We are just lucky that we are able to see ours. Usually the are hidden.

 

Has anyone tried this on a turbo manifold? I'm curious on how the polish would react to much higher temps.

 

I wouldnt do it man. Turbos get rusted over time thats normal.

 

I painted mine with BBQ grille paint from Lowes. I sanded it with 220 grit then did a few coats.

 

damnit i wish i had the patience to do this UGHH any1 wanna do it for me? lmfao

 

BBQ Paint huh? How long have you done this?

 

its been about three months, just make sure u wait between coats. it began to flake on the bends, so i took it off and took my time

 

how long did you wait between coats?

 

Wow that looks amazing!

 

wait 10 mins. do light coats. that stuff likes to pile up, stay wet, then flake. i have it off the car, so im gunna do it again

 

Why are you doin it again did it start to flake on you?
