The moisture when using a torch is a byproduct of combustion on the room temp metal, not water coming out of the metal. As the metal gets hotter, the moisture disappears as it transitions to a gaseous state. I'm going to cerakote a pair of those exact manifolds. Thanks for showing your process.

[@gertjevanpoppel7270]

A lot from the moisture is not coming from the cast iron but from the map gas itself.

I've learned a bit from this channel, makes me want to take on another project this winter, thanks so much.

[@UnconventionalMetal]

Thanks for this, I was wondering about it and you’ve opened my mind to another possibility.

[@Wofski]

Looks good!!!

[@jamespolucha8790]

Thanks for the video, I’m owing to try it

[@rtkracht]

Thanks!

[@fixinstuff9662]

Thanks for the idea. Now I'm looking at the specs on Cerakote.

[@VashSpiegel]

Run a file over the edges of the tape, makes trimming quicker.

How to turn a 5 minute video into a 25 minute one...

[@scottfromfl6828]

It looks good I wouldn't do the valve covers just my opinion

[@lewisla2010]

Nice video! Curious how that sample card turned out with the 80grit prep?

[@Brandonscode]

You can help that sand blaster window out with some rubbing alcohol and then clear packing tape! There some good KZbin videos showing the trick to make it clear again

[@barenekid9695]

Product might be Good but the Shipping charges equal the already Pricey cost of Cerakote.

[@BondanHeru]

Anyone ever try on 2 stroke exhaust chamber coating?

[@kickasspowdercoating]

Hey you don't need to tape off the header its better to coat all of it inside and out so it protects the metal .

[@rtkracht]

I am definitely going to try this. I’d like to try the Black Velvet color on the headers and side pipes I’ll be installing on my Corvette. Is the sand blasting a requirement because I can’t get them in my blast cabinet? Sure would like to see your exhaust after a couple of actual heat cycles. Cerakote has got to be head and shoulders better than any high temperature paint for that price. Pretty sure it will take several bottles for my project. Now that my shop is out of the 100+ degrees maybe I can get back to work. Thanks for the video. Learned a lot.

[@jeffersonheath7065]

Nice... is there a waiting period between coats?

[@davidhaas2528]

How have these held up? Cast can be tricky with Cerakote. I always degrease tank them, sand blast, outgas for a couple hours, blast again, then coat.

next time when you tape up flanges just take a rubber mallet to the edges to remove excess tape faster.
