Default Re: Exhaust Manifold Restoration

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Dicky</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Ok you BBQ chefs, tell me, since we're not baking
chocolate chip cookies; what VHT paint color are we using &amp;
how long are we keeping the manifolds in the cooker? </div></div>

See Photo for what I used. CSP998 Cast Iron. There are detailed instructions on the back of the can how to bake the manifolds.
As far as the 450 degrees goes I would wait till the BBQ hit 450 degrees and then leave it for 5 to 10 minutes as this paint cures rather quickly. Let it dry to cool again then do a second light coat and repeat cooking this meat for your motor. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
So far I have Zero surface rust bleeding through. Total cost was under $10 plus my labour which was no big hurt.
