VHT header paint good?

The black stuff headers come painted with is only storage corrosion control, it will burn off. Once you get them broken in and nicely charred, remove them and brush them with a brass grill brush to get any flakes off em and then heat em up with a heat gun or BBQ to burn off any hand grease and paint them warm. Let them dry and then bake em on the BBQ for 30 minutes or install them and let it idle for 30 minutes. If they dont cure correctly, they wont last. I also found the VHT ceramicote paint comes off on your hands if its not cured (ie, installing) so wear rubber gloves when handling them uncured.
