I’m considering putting wrap on my exhaust headers. Theoretically at least the retained heat improves gas flow, but its actually the look of it that I like, and I already have G56 pipes. I just wish to enhance the appearance of Number 42 - The Bleazey Special.
I was thinking of using a woven glass wrap and possibly then applying a coating. I’m looking to achieve a durable white finish.
What experiences and thoughts have other owners had with wraps and coatings.
The Bleazey Special.

If you like the look of it then go for it, I cannot think of a downside from wanting an aesthetic look. And it may help prevent your indicators melting! As to a coating on top I have never seen that done. Interested to see what you do.

What experiences and thoughts have other owners had with wraps and coatings. You could check out ZIRCOTEC. It's not a cheap process but they do offer a range of colours.

I had mine ceramic coated last year. 2,500 miles since with no issues. Cost was $180. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/11/15/IMG_0085.jpg)

I think that Paul & Rachel had this done on EVILMOG and seem to remember that they had some issues with the coating coming off. I'm not sure whether this was resolved to their satisfaction. Why not send 'Pitfield' a PM for an update.

Zircotec were sponsors of a race series I once took part in years ago and also noted their product was used on some GT40 replica's to good effect. No personal experience though. Camcoat was another exhaust coating used. But this won't work on a system that is wrapped prior (if I read the OP correctly). Issue with coating an exhaust in a white finish is that it shows every finger print afterwards. About as sensible as me wearing white jeans to work in my garage!

If you choose the "titanium" type wrap, I see no reason to apply coating as it looks very nice as it is - a warm grey/golden hue. And less prone to showing any kind of dirt. As an added bonus, it is easier to apply than fibreglass wrap.
