I had my W-Z manifolds blasted and I treated w/POR-15.
It was pretty easy to use cleaner, metel prep and paint then cured in my wifes oven shhhh....

 

Very nice, I am getting ready to do my engine block and headers with the Por-15 high heat stuff, I haven't used the metal prep yet.

Was the curing necessary, did I miss something when I read the directions?

 

No, it can cure on the car after you put them back on. I would have done my block too but they don't have bronze engine paint just gold.
Good luck and wear gloves.

 

Thanks!

My car is not original and as much as I love the gold and bronze Olds engines, I just want to make it look clean and presentable and start driving her again.

Thanks for the gloves headsup!

 

How will the next batch o scones /cookies taste ? invite the mother-in law

 

Brilliant! I think I will invite her.

 

where is the best place to buy POR 15?

i need to visit USA-land to buy some i think. i've never seen it my area..

 

I got it direct from POR-15 website (USA)
Here is the link to the POR-15 website (Great White North)

Take care

 

Be forewarned, I think it's a great product but it's also very harmful if not handled properly. Gloves have already been mentioned but you'll need to be mindful of the vapors also...it comes with a complete sheet of necessary precautions and they should be heeded...it's not playdough you're messing with...it's the real deal and should be respected as such! If you get it on your skin, it won't come off until the skin falls off! Common sense really but you need to realize that stuff can be hazardous to your health...same as smoking, drinking, driving too fast, eating too many cheeseburgers, etc, etc.

 

Just curious how they are holding up after a year. Update?

 

I get mine from the local speed shop , that was the only place I could find it here in WI

 

I spread the stuff on my sandwiches

 

lol I did not realize the original posts were a year ago..... thanks nonhog lol.... I never tried the high heat POR15 , but had good luck using the regular stuff ( saved my car from rusting away ) that stuff is real tough...... after a year with only one coat in the trunk pockets and the radiator support , you can sandblast the stuff and it dont come off.... now thats tough

 

DISCLAIMER:
DO NOT INTERNALLY INGEST POR15 MANIFOLD PAINT OR ANY OTHER PAINT. BAD THINGS MAY HAPPEN.

I could see the site owner getting sued by someone who actually tries that.

On the flip side, the POR15 Olds Gold engine paint DOES look alot like honey..................

 

It still looks great, if I had to do it over I would have used the high heat por putty to fill in some of the pits and then por over that.

 

they have a putty ? I wonder how that holds up , cause I have some chassis parts that are pretty pitted up and i'd like to smooth them out a little.

 

That manifold paint is thick as molasses - I would think it would fill in the gaps on its own. I will give two coats and see what happens. I mistakingly bought a pint, which is enough for 10 cars it seems...

 

lol , the regular POR15 I get also comes in a pint can , and it goes a long way

 

Yea, they had 8oz cans of hi temp but I had a brain fart and thought that would not be enough...

 

Now you need to find stuff to paint!!! LOL Maybe buy more stuff.

 

I used their putty on my trunk on my pontiac it worked good and has held up for 4 years . was a stick of two part's like plumers putty.

 

Yea, I am trying to find a Vista Cruiser just so I can paint its manifolds...
