[T3] Eastwood exaust coating

["Keith Park" <topnotch@nycap.rr.com>]

Product report...

I put this on a couple years ago, on sandblasted heaterboxes and mufflers on
the Crate... and sure enough, its rusting thru!  This was the high temp
exaust coating... and since this car has never been driven in the rain,
those parts have only been damp, never wet.

Im calling it a failure, Im not really surprised... heck, my Jethot coating
is rusting thru too on the Notch but that did take quite a few years, and it
actually has been wet a few times.

I really don't think there is a high temp paint product out there that can
can simply be painted on and keep exaust components from rusting... powder
coating is probably the best shot at it but does anyone know of something
that will work???
