It was powder coated clear 12 years ago, and the coating has yellowed at the head flanges from heat, and over the years what look like rust spots have developed in the powder coat, which is odd since the manifold is cast aluminum (see the attached photo).</span></div><div class="yiv0729484465MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="yiv0729484465MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I’d prefer to preserve the natural cast aluminum color, and I’m not a big fan of the chrome or polished look on the intake (my apologies to all you out there with nice shiny intake manifolds—it’s just not my taste). I had the exhaust manifold Jet-Hot coated in a cast iron gray 12 years ago, and they still look great. So, Jet-Hot coating the intake is one option, but the color samples they sent me of their lightest grays are all at best a medium gray; all considerably darker than their online color catalogue indicates. I’m going to call them Monday, but I’m not sure they have a coating light enough.</span></div><div class="yiv0729484465MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="yiv0729484465MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I also don’t want to paint it, as I know that won’t hold up long term. I’m curious about blasting the clear powder coat off and leaving the manifold uncoated. How does the “naked” aluminum hold up to the heat? What have others done? Your experience is appreciated.</span></div><div class="yiv0729484465MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="yiv0729484465MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Bruce Steele</span></div><div class="yiv0729484465MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Brea, CA</span></div><div class="yiv0729484465MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">1960 BN7</span></div><div class="yiv0729484465MsoNormal"> </div></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>Support Team.Net <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br><br><a ymailto="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net" href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net">Healeys@autox.team.net</a><br><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys</a><br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/rrengineer.mike@att.net" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/rrengineer.mike@att.net</a><br><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
