exhaust manifold

[imported_tree]

quick question for the informed. just had a headliner put in last week and the car is just about ready for the car shows around B.C . had all metal parts powder coated under the hood.but does anyone know what color the exhaust manifold should be. one more thing that i should pass on i found 3 more CS/GT up here in prince george.have not talked to any yet but will soon, as the weather gets better and more classic cars come out.

all the metal parts? why would you powercoat the air cleaner? :tongue:

I believe that the exhaust manifolds were left plain - i.e. not painted, so there are a cast iron grey color. If yours are new (not rusted yet), spray them with graphite lubricant that comes in a spray can. Keeps them from rusting (for a little while at least).

I think that Eastwood has not only rust removal and protecting products, but also special hi temp paint in cast iron color. Check it out:

You are right about Eastwood . I used the cast blast paint for the manifold.

I also used Eastwoods cast iron gray hi-temp coating for my hypo manifolds. Looks good and worked great. By the way, I'm really pleased with Eastwood products. I used them all through my restoration That's an unsolicited promotion! :smile:

... perhaps someone who has used their products successfully should add them to the "Restoration Reference" subcategory ...
