    Painting headers. Advisable?

    I have not painted the header on the FZ6 but I have tried painiting headers on a car (and exh manifolds for that matter) and never had much luck getting the finish to stay nice. I did take my header off this past weekend and clean it up with great success thanks to a mix of info from threads...
