Just did this on mine, thanks for the writeup Aaron!

Little tip for people...if you touch up the pipes after install, wait til it completely dries before you fire it up... It will "stain" the fresh spot on the pipe. Not too bad on mine, just a FYI

All pics are prior to being baked and the wet spot on the right header is from a touchup I did after installing (ratchet kept hitting it)

I think I'm gonna do mine again and use a clear over the top.  The black does grey out over time, but still, for a year and a half for $12....pretty cheap for a nice look IMHO
