What's a good coating for exhaust manifolds???

The POR stuff is the ticket! When you paint manifolds you are always going to have some flaking somewhere or you might spill something on them and have discolored or bare spots. The POR stuff goes on with a brush and when you crank up the engine it melts - so no brush strokes, and good adhesion. The big deal is when they need touched up, you just take a little paint brush, touch them up and crank up the engine - the new stuff melts into the old stuff seamlessly, and NO Masking off and overspray to deal with!!!
 
Jet Hot ceramic coated with thermal barrier. Spendy but stays looking new for years.

When it melts, does any get on the engine paint???
 
Thanks for the replies so far everyone...

I am leaning toward the eastwood or POR-15 since so many have recommended it...

While the ceramic coatings look nice and last a while, I'm looking for something more along the stock cast iron look as it's for a low miles rare car that I'm trying to bring back to stock look and not over restored....
 
I've used Eastwood's for years with good results. Not expensive at all and a pint can will do quite a few manifolds.
