Just as an FYI, there are two brands that make high temp (1400+) primers. VHT is one, though it isn't commonly sold in stores you can order it.

I have been in the classic car restoration thing for over 30 years, and there is no paint that is gloss black, and will stand the heat of the header part of the exhaust. ALL 1200 degree paints go on a flat black color, and many/ most/all will turn a lighter shade (looks grey) after the pipes get hot. Many are cheap, and will peel off, especially if pipes are not cleaned well enough. NEVER use primer, as primer does not have the high heat resistance to not burn off, and thus will take the top coat with it. The place that I found that DOES do Black Chrome is in Nashville, TN (I thought it was in NY, but I looked it up again), and their name is NITROPLATE. The guy told me $1800.00, and they needed to be a pretty nice set. They also cannot take out dings dents, and can only grind out minor scuffs/scrapes. I was told there may be a place in lower Michigan that does the Black Chrome, but I haven't been able to find them yet (even asked one of the fellow members on here, that lives in Michigan, and he didn't know). Maybe if we can have more people/members research this, someone will get lucky and find a good source to have it done, without costing a fortune. Put out the word,a nd let's see what we can find, and/or come up with.
