Anodizing doesn't work on steel - the part will continue to oxidize. Rust is porous.

The header wrap has gone a tan color now. I think it breaks up the white. Will post a pic tomorrow and invite comments. If I dont like it i can paint the wrap I believe.

yes, you can paint it, but it will keep losing the whiteness. Painting a header sweater when it tarnishes is like painting the floor when it gets dirty. After a while the paint gets too thick and gets crappy looking right after each paint job.

If you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone.

Blue Collar Bobbers said they heat white wrap to produce the tan color they sell.

Re: Fitted Exhaust Wrap and Painted Muffler Reply #20 - 11/17/12 at 03:19:53 HOw about a pic of the tan wrap? YOu know, the dang thing IS a ride, not a display in an art museum,. Its just hard to let go of NEEding it to be "Just Right". White header wrap,,, on a bike, basically a white rag, wrapped around an exhaust pipe, exposed to all of lifes crud. What are the odds its stayin white?

Its still smoking and burning off the last bit of white. I think I will run it for a week and see what it looks like. I also think chroming the muffler might look better.I do have some of the silver heat paint left so could coat the header wrap with silver to match muffler, but will wait a week to see how brown it looks.
