Painting Exhaust Manifolds

[mockingbird812]

Hey Dave - howz 'bout some more particulars on your Z?

Just the basics for now until I talk to the original owner.
Phoenix car from day one, supposedly sat on a lot for nearly a year and bought to race. Number two owner should be out of prison by now. Three owner car prior to me, 33K miles, not cut up too bad considering it was raced, few holes in the firewall, tunnel was cut up for an auto, dash was cut up some, entire car was painted black, right over the vinyl top, as well as the interior, door panels and all. Daytona Yellow, white top, white stripes (still not sure it wasn't a black stripe car, but that would have looked pretty odd) white hounds tooth, has aftermarket chambered exhaust, original engine, heads, intake, exhaust manifold, carb, 4:10 rear, M21 is not original, deteriorating buildsheet. Restoration began approx 5 years ago, eng rebuilt, car was painted, upholstery done and a lot of parts tracked down, previous owner had too many balls in the air to finish it and finally needed money, I have been after the car for about 5 years now. Thats it for now, more to follow.

Daytona Yellow with a White V-top and White Houndstooth will be AWESOME!

And it would have had black stripes.

They will never rust because in MY opinion they have been "flame sprayed" with ALUMINUM giving them that whitish/silverish color.......The aeresol cast blast paint cosmetically covers the new "skin" and makes them appear more natural...............

That's correct - they're plasma-sprayed with about .005" of aluminum as a moisture barrier.

Chuck,

I'm guessing I can find a place in Phoenix to have them "flame sprayed". Anyone done this in AZ? Any idea of the cost?

thanks,

Dave

I thought it had to have black stripes. Can't find the link with color combos now, thought it was on NastyZ28. Kinda remembered you had to have black stripes with DY. It was already painted with white stripes, I will probably leave it that way for awhile. Should drive all the Z28 experts crazy, it will make them happy pointing out that it is wrong.
