After a couple of years, no signs of breakthrough, and only a bit of chipping (easily touched up). __________________________________________ Keep the shiny side up

I am restoring a Monaro at the moment and have just emailed both HPC and JetHot for a quote on coating my original exhaust manifolds in a cast iron grey finish. I'm not looking for a show finish but just a very nea
