Will rust inhibitor burn off a manifold? Or should I bead blast it and then use high heat paint?

Hi Scott,

I would go ahead and blast your manifold and then follow with high temp "Cast Blast" paint from www.quantaproducts.com. It has held up and keeps the fresh cast look. Here's what it looks like.

nates90: While I like POR for car frames (and, by the way, you can buy it direct from por15.com), I'd be hesitant to use it on a heated part. When heated, it emits a huge cloud of incredibly smelly, probably toxic smoke, and continues to emit it until all the POR is burned off. I found this out the hard way after having to heat a previously-painted area of sheet metal to re-form it. The smoke sticks to everything with the same tenacity as the original POR, which is to say like a pit bull on a pork chop, and was a real bear to clean up.

Eastwood and POR15 both make cast iron gray hi temp manifold coatings. I have never tried the por15 stuff, but I have been using the Eastwood stuff for about 15 yrs. It does need touched up from time to time, but overall it holds up good and looks nice.

While preparing tractors for painting over the years, I have found that the best rust converter or inhibitor is the one made by Baton Rouge Industries in Baker, Louisiana. I have used it on all kinds of surfaces, including exhaust manifolds, with no problems whatever, and no rust bleed-through later. I"m not sure if they still make it, but if they don"t they might be able to give you the name of a good substitute.
