On Vermin, I used "CAST-BLAST" with a 3 Year "curing" time. Anxious to find out from his new owner, if it held up well:confused::confused: On Minervas' Old stock exhaust system, sanded it with 180 Grit Emery Cloth & did the WHOLE thing with CAST-BLAST. "Someone"??? asked, "What did the NEW exhaust set you back"? Bill Warmincalifornia |

I used Seymour Cast Blast.
Cured in the oven. http://www.seymourpaint.com/product/cast-blast/ https://www.amazon.com/Seymour-16-26..._&dpSrc=detail |
Re: Exhaust manifold finish? I've used cast blast in the past and have really liked it. Just curious if they did anything with them or sent them out raw.

Does anyone have a good pic of a manifold painted in cast blast? I will soon be painting my new manifold and am interested in how it turns out. Says it has a wrinkle finish that im not so sure on. |
Re: Exhaust manifold finish? Many years ago, I painted my exhaust manifold with stainless steel in a spray can. Held up very well. Sorry, don't remember the Brand Name. Google..

I used VHT's Flame Proof Satin Clear, 1300° - 2000° and shot over a clean brand new manifold with (2) light and (1) medium wet coat. The highest temp in clear I could find.

Re: Exhaust manifold finish? Geez...been so long I don't remember but I think I used a Por 15 high heat product. Looks as good today as it did in 2003.

Re: Exhaust manifold finish? My CAST-BLAST wuz NOT wrinkledy! (sp?) I dreamed about doing the block with it & a FAUX Woodgrained Head! (Like the Cigar Store Indian)--LOL--Or how about a Woodgrained Fan Blade?

Re: Exhaust manifold finish? Bill, the Cast-Blast is holding up very well. I almost asked you this same question. I don't know where to buy it in the Bay Area. Commies won't let us have any "dangerous" products. When I get my two bladed fan I will wood grain it to look like some white pine of maybe I ought to go with Hickory?

Re: Exhaust manifold finish? Can you guys post pics of your manifolds that are painted with cast blast and the clear protectant? I'm trying to decide what to do... I appreciate it!

Re: Exhaust manifold finish? I'll take a few pictures for you tomorrow. Just finishing one up.

Re: Exhaust manifold finish? I had my Victoria manifold porcelain zed cast iron, fifteen years ago and it still looks like new cast iron today. it is pretty pricey but it lasts. I used to remove my manifold and muffler every couple years and repaint them. not anymore.
