Default Re: Exhaust Manifold Restoration

I will agree on the POR with a little different application method. I heat the inside of the tubes with a low flame from my torch in between coats, and let them cool. I shoot it on with an old Binks 7. I add a very small amount of laquer thinner to the POR until the last coat. Then I thin it out a fair amount, turn up the pressure, and stand back and dust it on to get a cast texture, and to get the micha to stand up and get that cast look, and feel.

In many cases, you need to experiment with the application ie: spraying distance, to get the correct look, and feel. Just applying the paint material per instructions some times isn't enough. FWIW
