Oh, one more thing, the can says its shelf life is one year unopened, 6 months after opening. Have found most manufacturers claims along these lines to be SUPER conservative, but that's what they say. Also says the can will do about 4 manifolds, but agree with above, would do 10 to 20. I wonder if my first coat looked better because they're using more pigments now than 2 years ago. I've found Eastwood to continually upgrade their products. One last thing, the reason I didn't even attempt regular car repair store high temp paints is because they say you HAVE to cure the paint within 8 hours of application. And I knew the motor wouldn't be runnable within 8 hours of painting the manifold. When I ordered this stuff, it wasn't what I thought it was (was looking for a coating I used years ago that is more of a paste that never cures, hardens or anything, just looks like fresh cast iron), anyway, I called Eastwood, doesn't look like it ever HAS to be cured to work as advertised. But it will cure when the motor is run. So I kept it and will let you all know what I think! Sorry so windy, Tools
