I just bought a brand new set of bare TTI headers. After mockup and putting in the O2 sensor bungs, I am planning on having them coated with SwainTech's White Lightning. Has anyone ever used this ?

After talking to Jet Hot, it went from getting their most basic coating to their most expensive coating. However, their most expensive coating can chip pretty easily. I looked at this coating an people seem to be pretty happy with it.

I have heard it was awesome. Cant say personally though. Wonder what happens when it gets oil on it?

Never used Swain. My TTI's will be coming off over the winter and going to QC Coatings here in MI.

They get good reviews, and it saves me shipping.

Never used it...VHT makes some good header paint that holds up. I have also used Charcoal grill paint with success. The trick is to get ALL of the factory paint off, but since yours are bare you shouldn't have any problems.
