been using it for years on customers cars without an issue. The two most likely causes IMO would be 1. poor surface prep. 2. put on too thick. We use 3 or 4 thin coats allowing flash time between  We blast the manifolds, clean with brake clean, acetone, or lacquer thinner and apply the coating using either the aerosol cans or a spray gun

Since Eastwood just re labels other existing products, their high temp manifold paint is probably just Seymour Cast Blast high temp.
Their Detail Gray, Spray Gray and Aluma Blast are just relabeled Seymour paint.
thanks for the tip,We'll try it 
and I see summit has it for about 8.00 a can beats the 16-20 EW wants

They are going to replace it so I will try it again, just have to reblast them again. When i put it on it went on real thick and what I used before was a lot thinner so I think I got a bad can
For what it's worth...
I had similar issues (not Eastwood's) with high-temp paint for engine block and exhaust manifolds when my first coat was too wet and thick.
Since then (3 engine blocks and stock 440 exhaust manifolds) I have always made sure it was completely clean then lightly dusted the first 2 coats to make sure the paint bonded with the metal before going any further. Since then it has never been a problem.
Good luck

not sure what you used but I used eastwood coating on my manifolds years ago and they still look great. blasted, then sprayed and wiped the Eastwood PRE cleaner on it. I used the stuff that can be brushed on but I put in a can and sprayed it.
