Instructions are pretty simple and the color looks exactly like new cast iron. Has lasted on my 81 turbo manifolds & cast iron wastegate for 10+ years. Eastwood makes a similar product.

Another option is VHT paint in a spray can, I have never used it but have seen it on headers on a few cars, seems to last pretty good.
I have used the Eastwood High Temp manifold paint and it holds up for a long time. I would be interested in ceramic coating. Any recommendations for a company that does it? I tried contacting that one that advertises in Hemmings Muscle Machines, but they never got back to me. I guess they don’t need the money!
