If only they could. The gray coating I have is rough, like the CARC paint on a CUCV if you ever felt it. The silver finish is smooth and glossy so I doubt it would ever look right if they did.

so, they may look galvanized...function over form ..you'd have two layers of ceramic coat, you may could hold the header while its running.. you'd never burn a sparkplug boot or wire,..no starter heat satration.....+then cooler intake charge=more hp/tq.....sorry its the addict in me...more is better sorry
if they can double coat it, i'd take it no matter the looks...

Yep.
When they were ready the first time, they were supposed to be gray but they were actually silver (chrome-ish). When I told her there was a mistake she offered to fix it and also not charge the additional amount for a color (because of their error). Now I get them and the gray looks like baked poo so they're going to strip them and go back to the silver I should have settled for the first time.

Did you find headers?
Yes, see post #19 - I bought some Sanderson shorty headers and they fit like a glove (no mods, no frame trimming, nothing). Here are a couple of pics -

John, send pics of your blazer to my email. [email protected] Thanks
Gtotomm,
Check out my build thread for a 2" /3.5" collector solution.
I ended up buying a set of Hooker headers, and they weren't even that expensive.... Part numbers are in my thread ( look around post 1000 where I show the painted BBC and accessory pics)

Frustrating, cant get the pics, not a paid member i guess? what is the part # of the hooker headers? Thanks guys.
Really? Greg uses photobucket for all his pic's so they're remote linked and viewable by all. I logged out and was able to see the pics as a "guest" here.
