I've never tried any of the "brush on" type coatings (I'd like to hear feedback
about them too), but a guy I used to work with had a Corvette with the cast
manifolds that he had nickel plated.  As I recall, it wasn't that expensive, it
looked really good and it held up well, no dis-coloration or anything.  Anybody
else try something like that?
