I am happy with the job Jet Hot did on my exhaust manifolds in 1998. After
40,000 miles they are mostly the same as when coated. However, there is rust
beginning to show along the sharp edges, and it can only get worse. The
question is, how long will it take before they look crappy again? Any pits
that were there before the Jet Hot job will be there after it.

Hi Patton,
I'm a fan of Jet Hot coatings (ceramic aluminum) www.jet-hot.com . Here's
a
photo of my headers with their coating. They sandblast for you, costs
around
$200.
Best,
Greg

Since the Longbridge exhaust manifolds are made of unobtainium, I need
to be sure that the set for my car last a long time. Any suggestions
for the best way to clean them and paint or coat them for long term
durability?
I still love that the factory stamped the engine firing order on these
manifolds. No one can read the text is under the carbs and heat
shield when mounted on the car.
