Do they have to be heated when the paint is still tacky? If not, just spray them and put them on, they will make plenty of heat under the hood.

Obviously powdercoating or ceramic coating is better, we all know that, trying to do low budget things to preserve uncoated headers is what the high temp paint is about.
