OK,....here's a new one for me...(they're all new for me :_)

I've spent alot of time masking off parts of my engine and compartment and painting them.
Everything is getting real nice except the headers......they are Hooker headers and have light surface rust coating them.
They are huge,....and they're is virtually no space around them to get to (454 in a 73 Nova SS....see gallery)

Is there any trick or easy way to paint them while still on the car?
Or is the only (and obvious) way to remove them and paint them.

?

Thx!
