What to do with my Exhaust Manifolds - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've had some decent luck with the high temp paint.I blasted the mani and then rinsed well with carb cleaner.I used a few light/medium coats of VHT then let them dry for a couple of weeks.Then I followed the burn in instructions on the VHT.It's held up well for about 7-8 months but I haven't been DD ing the truck.I think I had to start and heat them for a few min 2-3 times then get them very warm for a good while.VHT had the instructions on the can.

I'm with Panel Deland on this. The guy that owns the parts house that I get my stuff from told me to spray about 3 coats of VHT on and then run the motor till the paint starts smoking and cut the motor off 4 times it should last a long time.

I'm going to try when the show season slows down so we'll see.
