Re: Exhaust manifolds. Paint? Coating(s)?
Way back in 1981 when I was seventeen and finshing the restoration on my '64, I used a high temp manifold paint of some kind and did as Tom did and baked them on my patents gas grill at 500+ degrees. I think the key to getting a good, long lasrting finish is the surface prep. I took mine to our local funeral/headstone business and had them sand blasted to a white metal finish. Then applied the paint in light coats and baked them on the grill at 500+ degrees for an hour or so. They are still holding up great.
