Cast Blast Aeresol wont hold up ..................on a car that gets any use..............
They all look good when just done...............
Either use High Temp CERAKOTE
or find a company that can FLAME SPRAY with Molten Aluminum
and THEN use Cast Blast Aeresol.............

My buddy used it and he drives the heck out of his car and they look great still.

TUNA, I'm no supreme epert, just a RESTORATION Enthusiast and Camaro Natl's Judge.............
Maybe it's Preperation or other Factors, but Ive seen High Temp AERESOL Paints FAIL..........
where the Rust starts showing...............
I dont expect you to believe me, and if your buddy has had success, then follow his
advice and go for it.................
Ive also heard from my contacts that High TEMP VHT Aeresol Cast Iron is
hard to find ??????????

Hoping mine are ok.... they were NOS with no rust before I painted them.
I would have love to have Jerry MacNeish coat them but I don't think he's doing them anymore.

TUNA JOE, In so far as what I have learned thru many years in the Camaro Restoration Hobby
Jerry M had exhaust manifolds FLAME SPRAYED with Aluminum, and then Coat with High Temp
VHT Cast Blast to give the correct cosmetic look..........
You should be able tofind a vendor that can FLAME SPRAY your manifolds
but I would also look into CERAKOTE which may be a less expensive alternative
to achieve quality results....
Beating a dead horse here, but none of the high dollar Camaro restorers are trusting
any High Temp Aeresol over sand blasted cast iron to hold up long term
