#1 Cast iron manifold finishes

Post by adam » Mon Dec 13, 2010 7:26 pm

Hi all

I like the original enamel finish but doesn't seem to last to long. Have tried various paint finishes, didn't last too long either. At the moment I am rubbing in fire grate blacking which produces a nice sheen. I prefer a gloss finish to a matt finish so zirotec coating is out. What does everyone else use?

Thanks Adam

Black barbeque paint from Do It All (or similar). The only stuff I've found that stays on!
