I've used Eastwood cast manifold paint and it holds up well. I'd heard this in the past. I had my manifold surfaces trued and then the manifolds were tanked. As soon as I got them back, I used Eastwood's paint on them. When I started to run them on the car, it wasn't a month and I already had some surface rust in spots. Not even a year later, they're pretty much fully rusted again.

I've had the Eastwood stuff - the stainless coating - on manifolds for 20 years. Sprayed over a dead-clean surface, even used a foam brush one time. Also used it on a couple sets of headers. It's always held up very well for me. The Slip-Plate deal is interesting - thanks for sharing, never heard of it - maybe the hot tip for master cylinders, too. Eastwood pulled the rug out from underneath everyone that used the stainless coating..No warning just stopped offering it so if you need a touch-up you're committed to using a different color which means repainting the entire part..I'd like to try the slip-plate myself on an upcoming project thanks for the tip...
