I painted on Eastwood's factory grey. Beautiful. 
Brush or spray?
I have to place an order with Eastwood, hence the reason I'm looking at Eastwood exhaust coating products.

I used the eastwood stuff - brushed on with a foam brush. It has held up very well. Metal prep is the key IMO. I painted mine within hours of media blasting.

I always use Eastwood's Calyx manifold dressing. Nice stuff!!!
Ordered yesterday, after doing some searching it is very highly regarded.
At worst I'll have to pull the manifolds in the future, reblast and try something else.

Be careful with the Calyx dressing. I used that at one point and yes it did look fantastic but don't brush up against it with any clothing or you will ruin your clothes or whatever it touches as it never fully dries. Ive also had rust come through the Calyx also.

I used the Eastwood brush on and got streaks so I ordered a can of spray and finished with a couple of light coats. They turned out great. I did blast them prior to painting. You can see the streaks before I sprayed.

Eastwood. I had a fire that burned up the front end on my 72 duster back in 1992 (after having it done for the summer by the way!). They looked like I had just done them. Everything else was toast but they weren't. I used a foam brush too with light coats. Also make sure that your bare fingers don't touch the metal before you apply the paint and after it is dired too. I used rubber gloves. The oil in your fingers comes off and then it wont stick and after it is done you see finger marks in it. Learned that on dad's 69 satellite. Others might not of had that problem but we did so we CYA'ed ourselves with mine.
