I want to clean up my exhaust manifold and turbo hot side before I install it. Anyone know of a rattle can ceramic coating/paint that will last for a while? ---

what they said. I have an oven in the basement to do these. VHT flame proof, 2000F protection. comes out great and lasts a while. I sand blast them first to make sure there isnt any rust underneath and then paint it. its a process. clean, spray, bake at 250 for 30, let cool. Bake at 350 for 30 let cool. Bake at 450 let cool. done. if you dont bake it right it wont be very chemical resistant. I did my atp logger, a downpipe, yetties manifold, turbo hot side on my car, some headers, some other manifolds, and a bunch more stuff for people. so far so good. DO NOT BAKE THEM IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD OVEN!!! If you want me to bake them, pm me. ---

I think the High Temp PC is only good to 1000 and I’m not sure what the requirements are for baking. ---

I’ve used Caswell Plating products in the past. OK at best. Definitely not a plasma-based application ceramic coating that’s for sure. [http://www.caswellplating.com/aids/techline/](http://www.caswellplating.com/aids/techline/) The VHT burn on trick is well worth the $9 a can it costs. Keeps rust at bay for awhile. ---
