Yes add it where you need just be mindful of not sanding pipe too thin. blend to start with 80 grit and then something like 180

 

Cool I appreciate the help I'll mock up a practice piece to get the feel for it. Do you know can silicon bronze be ceramic coated or is chrome about the only substrate that'll stick?

 

can you ceramic coat silicon bronze?

 

That’s the ticket, beautiful work.

 

I put silicon bronze around the outside welds on my headers, then had them ceramic coated. They are holding up just fine!

 

Silicon-bronze can be used alone to build headers. The set on my Studebaker is holding up fine.
