Exhaust manifold finish?
What if any factory finish was used on exhaust manifolds?

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 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

Re: Exhaust manifold finish?
Packard and a few higher end cars had porcelain coated manifolds years ago, but other ordinary cars all came raw cast iron that I know of. I've never seen any cars with painted manifolds from the factory.

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..

Re: Exhaust manifold finish?
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?
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?
Is that cast blast? Looks more like the high heat BBQ paint. My current waffle manifold is painted with that stuff and holding up great but my new repo exhaust manifold id like to keep the cast look to it.
