Hank240 Posted March 25, 2015 Share #1 Posted March 25, 2015 Ladies and gents - I have a restored,stock 1971 240Z. What are your suggestions for a long lasting stock appearance on the exhaust manifolds. The rest of the engine bay looks great but the manfolds go brown pretty quick. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diseazd Posted March 25, 2015 Share #4 Posted March 25, 2015 I bead blast mine to metal and have them ceramic coated. If you don't want to spend the $$$$ for ceramic coating, bead blast and paint with VHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gundee Posted May 29, 2015 Share #7 Posted May 29, 2015 I just had mine ceramic coated. Good to 1300 degree F. No high temp paints lasted long for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted May 29, 2015 Share #8 Posted May 29, 2015 lumensDid a powder coater do that for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarvo2 Posted May 29, 2015 Share #9 Posted May 29, 2015 Regardless of the finish its all about the preparation work. Need to remove rust, grease, and other gunk that's baked on for the past 40+ years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundee Posted May 29, 2015 Share #10 Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) lumensDid a powder coater do that for you? Yes, there is a Company that does powder and ceramic coating about 20 miles from me. After getting it back and looking it over, I thought why didn't I grind off all the casting edgesif going this far? It would not have taken too long. Too late now.
