Does anyone have a good suggestion for exhaust manifold spray paint? Im looking for cast iron look with no shine. VHT has a cast iron grey listed good for 1500 degrees. Any good experience out there?

I have used the VHT nu cast, cast iron colored exhaust manifold paint on all 3 of our cars and it holds up pretty well. The only problem I have had is that it slightly discolored when my engine started to run lean and run at a higher than normal temp which just made the paint get a whitish tint to it almost like it had oxidized or had calcium deposits on it from washing down the engine.

I did think about using the eastwood stuff, but I have used it in the past and always though it looked to thick and hid the cast look. Is the VHT paint called Nu Cast? They called it cast iron grey on their website.

I think for the exhaust manifold paint it was called something like Nucast exhaust manifold paint. Maybe the color itself was called cast iron gray. Just make sure to get the one that is rated up to 1200 degrees and that is the correct one.
