how many coats of VHT? was created by 9am53
I got my header back from my mechanic today all nice and sandblasted. I cleaned it off with brake cleaner and put on 2 coats of VHT flat black...will this be enough? Since I am not sanding and adding more paint like I usually do when painting I am not sure how much is required. I thought I would let it sit for a couple days and add a couple more just to make sure it's nice and protected.
It looked so nice, all curvy and dressed in black...I was obliged to buy dinner!

When using spray paint, I usually follow the product directions.

Just chiming in with an old old tip- paint the inside of the head pipes with the VHT before you run the engine and it will help keep the exterior paint from burning off.
