High performance exhaust manifold coatings??

[The Mechanic]

As always with painting anything prep is key. I had my exhaust manifolds out gassed at a local powder coater, and then sand blasted with high pressure, then used gloves to handle them and with-in 1 hour, hung them on the rack and painted them with Zybar cast color. Very easy stuff to paint! always use a good quality respirator! I will post some pics later.

Here are a couple of pictures of my manifolds that I coated with Zybar, I used the cast color, but they had several colors to choose from. I think they turned out pretty good, I just hope the coating lasts and it lowers the overall temps of the exhaust.

Looks great, I did the same manifolds for mine in the black zybar. It becomes very durable once baked on, way better than ceramic coating I've done on headers before.

Brush or spray apply? inside too?

They look great.

Thanks! I sprayed it out of my touch up gun. Small HVLP gun, about 23 psi at the gun, it went on super easy! I really didnt coat the inside other than aiming the spray gun in the holes and doing the best I could.

I assume you baked those in an oven at 400 degrees after painting them?
