Does ANYONE have white ceramic coated headers / sidepipes??

It isn't that big of a deal to paint them on occasion, VHT. I simply mask off by taping newspaper around the door and edges and 'touch up' as required.

An explanation of Swain's Ceramic Coating. The shade is more like pearl white rather than ceiling white. Aside from the appearance, rough finish is due to the ceramic material, the coating is durable. Available only in white, I sprayed mine black with VHT.

You may wish to check with the guys over on the Backdraft forum either here or on the actual Backdraft website. I have seen several of their cars with white sidepipes. It's a satin finish with a nice sheen to it. The cars were new so I'm not sure how it holds up - or even whether they have it done locally in FL after the car arrives from South Africa.

I am going to paint mine white with VHT because I've already paid to have them ceramic coated gray. And the VHT is cheap, looks good, and I can touch it up myself.
