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.

Re: Exhaust manifold finish?
Th OP's question seems to be "How did they come out of the factory?" I don't know. Jack

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?
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.
