L-78 Intake Manifold

[CamarosRus]

So after a cast aluminum Winters manifold is either Shot Blasted (Steel media) or Vapor Honed..........and then installed on your trailer queen show car..........what's the Reality
of keeping the manifold Clean........Hoping that No Fuel is ever Leaked upon it..........

I was just thinking if coating with CERAKOTE would be a better long term Cosmetic Finish ??

From Belair62's post #34 from2/11/2005 I first saw this in a NCRS article along time ago called"

"Color it Aluminum by Bill Halbert"

This is the process I used on my 1967 Bloomington Gold, Benchmark Corvette for the valve covers and Intake manifold back in 1988 when I was cleaning it up before Judging. I believe I was the person who gave this to Ron Norman @ McHenry Classic Car parts many years ago. It works Fantastic though I sprayed the Krylon Dull Aluminum #1403 on the Thinner then brushed it on the part, let it dry, and the brushed it of with a soft Horse Hair brush. I hope this helps.
