New flat black hotcoat! Watcha think?
I just talked a local shop into trying this stuff and here are the results...
IF you look on the flange it looks like it is scratched but that is aluminum off of the key I tried to scratch it with.
Manifold is for a 4g63/4g64
It adds about $60 to the price of a manifold and it is good for 1800 degrees.

that manifold looks good (like with the heat coating) and the welds are ok too...
but being close to equal length... not really working out there.. would this cause any problem with the 1 cylinder having more pipe than the others?

Re:New flat black hotcoat! Watcha think?
what type of heat coating is it? is it painted... or powdercoated...
i think it is a good idea. but even a better one might be to use heat wrap on the manifold (unless they are worried about looks).

) but it is cured in the same oven. 200 deg for 2 hours and then 600deg for 3 hours, then it finishes curing on the car. Hopefully we will have one on a car soon to see how it holds up. I have used the Chrome type in the past and this is made by the same people.

, It is an Aluminum Oxide, silicon mixture. Just like Jet hot coat only it is Black.

Re:New flat black hotcoat! Watcha think?
i painted my manifold with some 1200 krylon.... that was like 4 bucks...
4 bucks.. or 60... 4 or 60.... come on hmt
i would have to buy more than 10 paint cans (which is like painting it at least 80 times, because its not a big manifold).
if that stuff helps keep in the heat.. cool.. but for looks.. i like the 'krylon touch'
