What is the best product to use on cast iron exhaust manifolds that keep the look of cast blast?
 
You can try the VHT cast metal engine paint but follow the cure instructions.

  • Curing can be done on the vehicle or off the vehicle by using the following steps. ON the vehicle, paint must be completely dry, run engine at idle for 10 minutes, cool for 20 minutes, run at idle for 20 minutes, cool for 20 minutes, run at normal operating conditions for 30 minutes. OFF the vehicle, paint must be completely dry before curing, heat to 250 degrees for 30 minutes, cool for 30 minutes, heat to 400 degrees for 30 minutes, cool for 30 minutes, heat to 650 degrees for 30 minutes. (CAUTION: Do not exceed the temperature of the least heat tolerant component or the base metal.) Complete application and curing instructions are also printed on every can.

My wife calls it "cooking car parts"
 
Not familiar with Boeshield, can you tell more why its better or as good as
Easy to use, goes on like wd-40 would and protects bare metal parts. I don't have the most long-term experience with it but others on here do and have suggested over other similar products.
I've used it a bit and I find it seems to work pretty good

Does anyone have pic's of manifolds treated with Boeshield after being on the engine after being used and does Boeshield have to be reapplied regularly?
