Has anyone used Eastwoods High Temp Grey on their exhaust manifolds? How are the results? Good ? Bad ?

Thanks

I have been using POR 15's high temp manifold paint and it works well. Just a little bit covered two sets of manifolds and it sticks great, just make sure to get a nice clean surface and you're good to go.

We used Eastwoods manifold paint on exhaust manifolds back in the mid nineties that still looks good. Starting in about 2000 there appeared to be a formulation change and the paint has not lasted for over (3) months after the change. At the time we were having trouble, I called Eastwood to complain and was told the new paint was improved over the old paint that we had been very happy with. I was told also, that I was applying it incorrectly.

We switched to the POR manifold paint in 2003 and have been very happy with it.
