I blasted, painted, cured my exhaust manifold using POR-20 high temp paint. This paint takes a while to stir after you open the can. Its thick unlike POR-15 which is thin like water. The color is so similar to the sandblasted manifold it is kind of tough to find painted/unpainted parts of the metal, the color is that good.
Waited till the wife left the house this AM and cooked the paint to cure it for 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Should have taken the plastic coated coat hanger off the manifold prior to cooking :stupid: No biggie, I ran the oven clean cycle to cover up the evidence and reported the housework good deed! Seems like a pretty decent surface.
