1968 Exhaust Manifold Paint

[teamlo]

Hi,

I am curious to know what people are using for exhaust manifold paint for the 1968 small block. I am in the process of building a J-code 302 and detailing it to stock appearance. The car will be an occasional driver, so I am looking for something that looks nice (correct) and is durable. Any thoughts or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

I use Seynor Cast Blast high temperature paint. It comes in a spray can, looks great and lasts a long time. You can purchase it on the internet for about $10 per can. Hope this helps. Russ

I have used Eastwood Factory Gray High Temp Coating, Part #34105Z - its a brush on paint specifically for manifolds - and haven't had any problems with it as long as you do the prep work meticulously.

I would get it powdercoated clear. Looks pretty original and easy to clean and care for in the long run. Typically, it would cost about $75 to powdercoat.

I used POR15 Factory Manifold Paint - Gray

Very happy with it and held up well so far.

Like mentioned above - prep is the most important step.
