RE: truck headers
They are probably shipped with a "packing coating" which is very thin, and will not stand up to operating temps. You will probably want to either sand/steel wool ALL of this coating off down to the bare metal and them apply a good coating like VHT High Temp or a similar header paint. These high heat coatings come in a bunch of colors and types.
