Header Paint and hearder heat wrap ?'s

I use DEI exhaust wrap with stainless steel bands on my headers. Then you must spray them with the DEI coating with soaks into the fabric and makes them water resistant. It's been 8 years and my headers are still perfect. Total cost, about $50. Would I do it again? Nope! Too much damn work and dust. It made me itch like crazy. Next set I am coating I don't care if it costs me $300.
