The moisture when using a torch is a byproduct of combustion on the room temp metal, not water coming out of the metal. As the metal gets hotter, the moisture disappears as it transitions to a gaseous state. I'm going to cerakote a pair of those exact manifolds. Thanks for showing your process.

You beat me to the punch. 100% correct. There is no moisture being pulled out of that metal its condensation. Science.....

@gertjevanpoppel7270 3 месяца назад

A lot from the moisture is not coming from the cast iron but from the map gas itself. When map gas burn a lot of moisture is released from the gas molecules burning process. Burning map gas It can also leave a soot residue . Maybe it's a better idea to use a old electric oven to heat up and degassing the parts 😀

The oven is a great idea!!!!

@fixinstuff9662 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the idea. Now I'm looking at the specs on Cerakote. Mapp gas is a mixture that includes propane and the propane turns into water and carbon dioxide when it burns. While the metal is still cool, some of that moisture from the torch will condense on the manifold before it warms up. As long as you can keep the cast iron warmer than the ambient temperature, it won't take on moisture. Ovens work great if you have one just for shop use.

@ACDesignsGarage 9 месяцев назад

Awesome, thanks for the tips!!!!

@fixinstuff9662 9 месяцев назад

It looks great, hopefully it lasts for a long time @@ACDesignsGarage

@robtownsen1100 7 месяцев назад

mapp or propane add a lot of moisture, best off to use heat lamps. I have tested heated products with propane, then heat lamps. You can see the moisture disappear after it has been heated with propane. The heat lamp bulbs significantly reduce flash rust. This has been my experience.

@VashSpiegel 9 месяцев назад

Run a file over the edges of the tape, makes trimming quicker.

@fixinstuff9662 9 месяцев назад

That does work great.

@ACDesignsGarage 9 месяцев назад

Ill try that, I usually use a sanding block but got in a hurry, but a file would work better! Thanks for the tip!!!!!!

@ACDesignsGarage 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment, I agree with you, I think im gonna stay black on the valve covers.

@rtkracht 10 месяцев назад

I am definitely going to try this. I’d like to try the Black Velvet color on the headers and side pipes I’ll be installing on my Corvette. Is the sand blasting a requirement because I can’t get them in my blast cabinet? Sure would like to see your exhaust after a couple of actual heat cycles. Cerakote has got to be head and shoulders better than any high temperature paint for that price. Pretty sure it will take several bottles for my project. Now that my shop is out of the 100+ degrees maybe I can get back to work. Thanks for the video. Learned a lot.

@ACDesignsGarage 10 месяцев назад

Your very welcome, Im going to use a DA sander and 80 grit to do the other pipes, they wont fit in my cabinet eaither. I may do a sample spray out and heat it with a torch. Im gonna do my valve covers with that black velvet also.

@rtkracht 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Man!

@davidhaas2528 5 месяцев назад

As per Cerakote's training manual, sandblasting with 100 grit media is a must. It needs a very fine, toothy profile to properly adhere. @@rtkracht

@lewisla2010 7 месяцев назад

Nice video! Curious how that sample card turned out with the 80grit prep?

@ACDesignsGarage 7 месяцев назад

Thank you, I did my exhaust pipes with 80 on a DA sander and it looked exactly the same. It turned out just like the blasted!!!!

@Brandonscode 10 месяцев назад

You can help that sand blaster window out with some rubbing alcohol and then clear packing tape! There some good RU-vid videos showing the trick to make it clear again

@ACDesignsGarage 10 месяцев назад

Thanks ill try that!!!!

@charlescarter9270 12 дней назад

It looks good but if you used 8 oz you put it on way too thick. I've done a set of manifolds, set of shorty headers, multiple small parts, bolts, nuts etc and I'm still not at 8oz. Also, no reason to mask off areas on the manifold.

@davidhaas2528 5 месяцев назад

How have these held up? Cast can be tricky with Cerakote. I always degrease tank them, sand blast, outgas for a couple hours, blast again, then coat.

@davidhaas2528 5 месяцев назад

Also, it is perfectly fine to coat the flange mating surfaces. it actually tends to help from rust creeping under the coating.

How to turn a 5 minute video into a 25 minute one...

@syn4057 27 дней назад

It’s called “making content”. He also showed every bit of work. Not everyone knows how to do all the prep work to make paint stick. How properly paint and the wonderful idea of using eye hook bolts. You maybe very knowledgeable and that’s great. Maybe you should make RU-vid videos to help new builders, like he is doing.

@vrcustoms7 День назад

Which product did u use?

@kickasspowdercoating 4 месяца назад

Hey you don't need to tape off the header its better to coat all of it inside and out so it protects the metal .

@ACDesignsGarage 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the tip, I haven't mounted them yet, ill go back and spray them. I wasn't sure if it would effect the sealing.

@Kurnacopia 4 месяца назад

duhhh....excellent point. I am too used to paint prepping.

@jeffersonheath7065 4 месяца назад

Nice... is there a waiting period between coats?

@ACDesignsGarage 4 месяца назад

10 to 15 minutes is what they say between coats, thanks for watching!!!

@charlescarter9270 12 дней назад

Actually they say apply in a single application, 1 to 2 mils thick, which isn't much. Just enough to cover the item. If it ever runs it's too thick.

@bmclaurine 5 месяцев назад

Does cerakote gets mixed with a solvent or used pure ?

The air cure that I used in the video is straight out of the bottle. All you do is shake it real good then strain it and put it in the gun!!! The H seris has to be catalyzed and heat cured.

How did your oven work out that yall built

@ACDesignsGarage 8 месяцев назад

Pretty well, I think it needs another burner so it comes back up to temperature after you open the door. I really like this C seris I used on these manafolds, its air dry no need for a oven. Ill try to shoot a video on the oven cure soon. Thank you for the support!!!

@@ACDesignsGarage awesome. I am thinking of getting into doing scopes, rifles and pistols is why I was asking. I have an upright freezer I am going to get all the plastic out and line with durarock cement board and an old electric oven for smaller parts and 22 inch barrels.

next time when you tape up flanges just take a rubber mallet to the edges to remove excess tape faster.

Product might be Good but the Shipping charges equal the already Pricey cost of Cerakote.

@ACDesignsGarage Месяц назад

Yeah shipping stinks, sometimes jegs does some deals on shipping. But unless you have something else to cerakote your probably better off buying it finished like you said!!!

@jimprodan6776 4 месяца назад

Why wouldn't you Blast them first? Now they need to be cleaned again to get all the dust off them.

@ACDesignsGarage 4 месяца назад

I did blow them off then shot them with brake clean right before coating them.If you watch cerakots videos they don't clean them after blasting for some reason

@BrianReno-qy9wk 4 месяца назад

Still going to be hot inside the uncoated metal. Probably be even worse for the engine the heat can't escape. Jet hot flow coats the inside and outside

@ACDesignsGarage 4 месяца назад

I dont think the cerakote is really a great heat barrier but I could be wrong, they do sell this exact manifold pre cerakoted. Ill let everyone know how it does.

@strokermaverick 10 месяцев назад

Make sure, to show it on the running engine.

@ACDesignsGarage 10 месяцев назад

Definitely will do, I still have to break the cam in, so will give it a run for the money lol

@BrianReno-qy9wk 4 месяца назад

The inside is even more important. Watch a jet hot video or the way they cost the top of a part but not the back or inside. The uncoated part is sky high temps

Thats a lot of work and not everyone has access to a sand blaster. Interesting video though. I will take my motorcycle headers to a professional powder coater instead.

Thanks for watching, you can use 80 grit on a da sander on smooth surfaces, but the cast stuff is hard to get in the nooks to get a good bite.
