340 exhaust manifold pictres needed - correct overspray - 10/24/13 03:13 AM
I need some good pictures to show my powder coater the basic engine paint overspray pattern.

There will be lighter covered areas on the block where the exhaust manifolds get in the way of the spraying paint.

I usually have them ceramic coated and then bolt on and shoot the engine.
This last set were powder coated silver/gray bolted on and shot.
Like Scott said whatever burns off burns off, why over complicate the process?

YOU asked for "correct" and you got some good/accurate replies. There's no grey area ("currently perceived") about it. The way the facyory did it is well known and documented, doing it any other way is simply NOT correct.

I undestand, agree, respect and appreciate all the information supplied. I realize most everything known is pretty solid at this point but new information surfaces still today. The orange small block cut off for instance. At one time it was thought that the fender black out was done with a cardboard template covering the engine compartment and sprayed afer the body was pnted, it is now understood that the black was sprayed first. Cars restored to what was thought to be crrect 15-20 years ago are now moched for being incorrect, but that was info available at that time. Not arguing any points above, just tryng to be as correct appearing and durable all at the same time. I am very analytical many times to a fault, but that is something I have to come to grips with.

I agree the exhaust manifolds are known issues at this point. I have seen what I am talking about and it looks good in my opinion but yes only correct looking until they were cranked and run.

Above I think it was mentions to spray engine paint over the powder/ceramic coating and let it naturally burn off. Has anyone done that and does it leave a stain on the coating were the paint was?

Not intended to be judged, just want it to be respectable.
