Hello Barry,
Interesting comment on your experience with the High Temp coating. Did you
apply it to the 'stock' rough cast exhaust manifold or to tubular headers? I
ask because, in my experience, it does not work on smooth surfaces like
headers; it would begin to flake off within a week or two.
I was skeptical about the product until I saw the results on some of our
local hot-rods. Quite a few have used it without problems, but it seems that
it requires rough surfaces to bond correctly.
