Cast Iron Paint
I've seen some mighty nice looking components repainted cast iron grey on this board. I came accross a product called CAST BLAST mfg by Seymore Paints. My manifolds turned out really nice. But...there's no distributor here in Florida, and the shipping from the factory is more than the paint.
What have you others used if I may ask? Does NAPA sell anything worthwhile?

Re: Cast Iron Paint
I've used Duplicolor Engine Enamel Ceramic in a Cast Coat Iron color, on several various parts with good luck.

Re: Cast Iron Paint
I've used cast blast for years. Works great and looks good. Don't think it will work on exhaust manifolds.

Re: Cast Iron Paint
POR 20 hi heat manifold paint. Your headers/manifolds will still look like new for years to come.

Re: Cast Iron Paint
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Even though I like how the cast blast looks on the manifolds, I'll have to remove it. You're right Lee; the mfg says it won't hold up under the heat. I'll see if I can get my hands on some of that POR 20, and then I'll try the Dupli-Color on the engine components because that's available anywhere.
