Alan:
I just finished doing my manifolds and ZS CD-2 carbs. I had the
exhaust manifold sandblasted and then I painted it with Eastwood's
high heat manifold paint (steel) and it came out creat, cured fine and
is holding so far.
The damper cover is aluminium. I Used Brasso to polish and they actually
shine! I used the Dremel on the intake manifold and that seemed to give
a great polished finish. Decided not to use any polishing compound.
Hope this helps.
