Allen I'll check when I get home but I bought it from the LAPS. I've actually run the engine (before pulling it) with the exhaust pipe painted and it's held up so far but with only a 100 miles or so of driving. Once I get the engine back in I'll be able to give it some more hot testing. Ken

I'm thinking (hoping) that it will hold up pretty well. I've already painted my exhaust pipe with a high heat aluminum colored paint to match. Ken Deve wrote: The thing that intrigues me is the concept of powder coating the exhaust manifold. I wasn't aware that it would hold up over time. Has anyone done this and used it for awhile?

The heat thing is a non issue ~ my old VW's all run much higher underhood temps than any truck ever will and they all have nice painted undersides too . -Nate Jon wrote: > Ken, > > You think that gloss black job you had done looks better than flat > black would? > > Jon L. > > > --- Kenneth Cluley wrote: > > > > > Just got my hood back from the paint shop.
