If you want to keep the fresh casting look and not the Painted look......Use Calyx......available from resto supply houses.......keeps the casting look for quite a while, when it starts to go away, rub some more on and they look fresh again........... Ken [/ QUOTE ] I agree, good stuff. Mike

Re: Manifold coating
I'd be interested to know the cost of this "special" treatment that you are waiting 6-8 weeks for.....
I can have flame sprayed/aluminized manifolds done in Seattle THIS week.....This coating is approx .008 thick and the vendor alledges it doesnt change the complexion of the cast iron. I would then include a can of VHT 1200' Cast Iron paint, so that you can color to replicate the factory look.

Re: Manifold coating
Jerry did mine seven years ago, and they still look great (photo below). I've had good luck on other cars with Eastwood's "Factory Gray" coating, after lightly blasting to get a clean surface; excellent durability, no touch-up required. Calyx requires regular touch-up, never dries, and judges don't like it - it rubs off on anything that touches it (like white shirt sleeves
 ).
