I wish you luck. Let me know if you find something that works.

I used the Eastwood Stainless Steel coating on my TR6 manifold. I had
the manifold sand blasted, and then brushed on the stainless steel
paint. It looked great. I started the car, and the manifold smoked
as the heat baked on the paint. It discolored just a bit, but then it
kept it's nice metallic looks.... for about 4 months. It now has
started to flake and rust, and I think it would look better with a
nice coat of rust. I wouldn't recommend it, as I've talked to other
folks at car shows who have had similar experiences.
