I used " E M T " Technologies"s Exhaust Manifold Treatment.
The address on the can is :
P.O. Box 3533, Dayton, Ohio, 45401.
In reading the contents, other than propellants, the main ingredient is
graphite. It cost about $12.00 for a small spray bottle.
I wonder if you could not just brush on some graphine thinned with acetone.
It has been on for about four months and seems to be holding up
very well. After each coat, it is recommended that you buff it with
newspaper.
It is a medium grey and has a fresh "Cast Iron" appearance like the can states.
