chrome headers March 10, 2005, 03:22:26 PM has anybody on here used chrome headers? how quickly do they turn all rainbow-colors? is there any way to slow or try to prevent that? my dad used to ride bikes and said he'd keep his chrome pipes chrome by spraying white header paint on the inside of the pipes, dunno if it'd work for cars tho.
