ahh friend, I hope this stayed on for you but the frequent touching with your bare hands after stripping the rust from the header very likely deposited body oils on to the surface and thus weak application spots for the paint. For all those who watch and want to do this and have it last, some big take away's are: -Wear clean latex (or equivalent if you're allergic) gloves while stripping and cleaning. -After stripping rust from the header surface to ensure the surface is fully clean of dust particulate and free from oils: use acetone or a similar solvent heavily on the entire exterior, then place the header in your oven for 1 hour at ~300°F/ 150°C and let the header cool in the oven with heat off for another hour to remove any remaining oil and moisture, AGAIN use acetone or similar to wipe down the header with a microfiber cloth, and once it is dry apply paint immediately as rust is already beginning to accumulate on the surface again as time passes and it is exposed to ambient humidity. (if you cannot paint immediately following, place the header in a large airtight plastic bag or wrap it in kitchen plastic wrap and store it in a dry location with desiccant beads until you're ready.) I tell you this only because I have failed this challenge multiple times and these steps were the killers.
Erm.... YOU are the ONLY person to think the VHT swill isn't Complete Krap ! Typically the shite lives maybe 3 months (often only 3 weeks) before it flakes/ falls off / burns.

Its impresive how clean the block is .. after 200.000k‘s .. is it a replacement block?
How's it looking after 6 months of use are you still just as happy. Any picks to show after 6 months
Does it keep the bay cooler?
where do all the scratches come from?
Now, spray some of the paint in the lid , then use some kind of applicator to paint the manifold nuts.
You couldve cleaned the inlets ..+5hp 😅
