Help with prep for Headers

[davesans]

Hello Everyone

I have a question about the way you might prep your headers for primer and painting.
The ones I am working on are two piece headers for the B192
Do you glue then together first then fill the seem where they went together with some putty?
Or do you prime then paint then glue them together.
What’s your method?

Thanks
Dave

Method depends on the header design.

If you can assemble and fill any seams, sink marks or ejector pin marks before you prime and paint, then it's a good idea to do so.

I'm building the b192 as well and I found that once you've glued the headers to the engine and the
engine to the black substrate, it's hard to see the seems anyway.

Filling, sanding, priming & painting would be the correct
order depending on how perfect you want this.
