intake manifold coatings. outcome

[rept@qwest.net (Mike Blain)]

After checking numerous outlets for performance, autobody, and supply 
parts houses I found DA shiat!  Ceramic in a can that acctually 
dissipates heat from the manifold.  You can get it at Nappa, and it's 
relativly inexpensive 4-5 per can.  It took me 4 cans to do the intake 
of a V8- so a scirocco should get by with one can for several coatings.

Remember to degrease WELL, or get pocking.

This stuff works great coated well, is tough once dry, and looks Sweet!
I think it's a Krylon formulation.  suatable up to 1200 degrees for 
limited periods, or 500 constant. The manufacturer even claims Dyno 
improvements with the product. Personally, I only used it as a 
functional aesthetic. I didnt want a coating that could possible inhibit 
the dissipation of heat!

T'care all!
