For exhaust manifolds is the VHT ceramic 1200-2000 cast blast better that the Seymour 1200 cast blast, just wondering what guys are using and how they hold up.

Get por exhaust paint instead. It will hold up!

I'm also using Por-15

POR 15 manifold grey+

POR 15 here to. Lasts a LONG time. For best results sandblast the manifolds and apply two coats with a sponge brush.

Another vote for POR 15. Over 2 years and they still look like the day I painted them! Only thing I'd add to SS409's suggestions is to be sure to thoroughly wipe them down with alcohol or lacquer thinner prior to paint and DO NOT touch them with bare hands/fingers after wipe down.

and one more for the POR 15

I have been pretty impressed how it has done so far... only 6 months later, but it looks like i just did it an hour ago.

Now that is one sweet looking engine!

SS409

Thanks JR. Yes that's currently in my Impala now. It's an original QB block with an Edelbrock top end. It's to bad the 409 never showed up in an early C2. That would have been quite the conversation piece......

Wait, are you saying this isn't original?





Holy cow, who can you trust these days?
