I know that rattle can isn't gonna get it for this project, but what has the best results? Do they have a high temp powder coat available? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 | Eastwood sells a castiron gray manifold paint that is brushable, I used it on my Chevelle 10 years ago, it's lasted quite a while.

I do however run my engine once or twice a week for 15/20 mins or so, just to keep things loose. So far it's still looking good,it hasn't peeled,flaked or discoloured. I got the headers blasted first to provide a good key for the paint. I'm planning a third coat before it hits the road.

How does the color hold up? Does it darken and blue like the rest with heat? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Ken, there has been NO apparent bluing,but time will tell once i get the truck out on the road.
So far,all is good.

Talked to the guy who powdercoats in my area, he's never done a high temp coating but he's willing to try. Guess I'm the test,... so lets see how it turns out. Least he's very reasonable. I'll keep you up to date! Guess I'll know by the end of the week,.... | | |
