Yes Sam. We sent the original headers to Jet hot. In the past, I've used the method of spraying VHT on the headers, them blowing heat up the tubes with a torch to dry the paint, them keep adding coats until I get the desired result. I thought Jet hot might have a better lasting process as after a year or so the paint flakes off. White is always difficult. Touch a tube with a dirty, or oily hand, and it's permanently there.

Looks like Howie helped with the windshield trim.

At least they could save this piece of trim. Howie's was toast!

If Howie had helped, there'd be a sheetmetal screw through it.
