No thanks.

Hi b-man,

Sounds like you've had good luck with the POR-15 manifold paint? I tried the Eastwood product and it lasted a couple years. Do you feel the POR-15 product is superior to the other hi-temp exhaust paint products out there?

A related question: what process and paint works best for engines? I've used regular rattle can engine paints which held up semi OK on parts that didn't get too hot, but the paint immediately burned off on the exhaust ports and started peeling around the thermostat housing. (I had a leak develop there). Wondering if I should have used a different paint product and possibly primed first?
