When I restored my A12, I had the exhaust manifolds ceramic coated "cast iron grey" in color, then oversprayed them with orange engine enamel. They never rusted, but the orange paint then turned a dark burnt orange (like rust) color. I received several compliments on them. I recommend this for that "day 2" look. 6492067-115-1526_IMG.JPG (210 downloads) Last edited by silent-H-wheel; 02/23/11 01:10 PM. John 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 2018 Challenger SRT Demon

You mean you don't like the bright cast look? LOL. I used Bill Hirsch cast coat and after a few miles they took on a more correct brown/rust look, i like it. 6492119-68RR3834-speed(21).jpg (318 downloads)

Obviously NOT OE correct but it gives a good representation of what I feel it looks like after after the 1st week of a new car. I've used the Eastwoods brush on paint, ,,,,,,and it looks like it's brushed on Enjoy life today, It has an expiration date

It is a spray on graphite coating that is cheap but really works good. I just blasted the manifolds then sprayed on the Slip Plate( about $8 a can). You should be able to get it at NAPA stores. It is not 100 point correct but looks great. See Ya!

Make sure you get part #SP998 as the #SP997 is the same color but not as high of a temperature cabability. 6493798-P2060747.JPG (1306 downloads) Last edited by 70gtx440dana; 02/24/11 11:41 AM. 70 Road Runner 383-4 4 speed FJ5 & black guts 70 Charger R/T 440-4 4 speed FJ5 & white guts

Canada	Quote: I've used the Eastwoods brush on paint, ,,,,,,and it looks like it's brushed on I used the Eastwoods, but didn't use a brush but rather a sponge tip applicator as recommended by someone here. It was the darker of the two products and turned out nice.....with no brush marks. ...it looks lighter in the pics than it is in reality.

Wiping down an engine ruined a bunch of detailing rags I had with getting that stuff on it. Eastwood stuff rusted through and peeled on me after about 2 mos. and even blasting the manifolds and baking them prior to painting them. POR15 was about the absolute worst I found. Peeled within two weeks and they said its because I did not use their Metal Ready and other crap. I bought all that extra stuff and about another 4 mos. the crap started peeling again. I also tried the VHT Nu Cast engine exhaust manifold paint, I think someone previously said it is SP-998 or something like that. It discolored from the heat in some areas but has yet to peel or even rust!

Best way is to Jet Hot coat or some simular product that ceramic coats the manifold. Did mine 8 years ago and they look the same today as they did then.

Falls right off.
